I need to take the front and rear bumpers off my facelift estate to respray them, they also need a couple fo small repairs, how is the easiest way to get them off without damaging them or taking off unnessesary bits. There's bound to be some hidden screws or something 

[TheBoy]

Front

4 screws - all visible from wheelarche, or just underneath by wheelarch.  3 clips underneth in middle.

Obviously, you have to remove headlight surround first.


Rear, never done one on estate

OK thats a start, anything else have to come off besides the headlight surround ?

[TheBoy]

nope, not for facelifts.

When you pull bumper forward, unplug the loom

for rear bumper looks similar to Saloon, can just make out the torx bolts, with covers here, looks like 4 of them:



Should be 2 female torx rear of the wheel arch, and a couple of locking pins fairly central underneath, use a punch to pop these out

OK that seems pretty straight forward, i'll have go at that when i get 5 min
