Well where to begin :D

On top you have 10mm bolts along the lip where the bonnet is, you have 2 on each side holding onto the wings, the easyest way to get at them is to take the headlights off only about 6 bolts!! then you have about 6 or so holding onto the steel crash bar(you can see them facing up along the line where your fog lights are.Then you have the ones holding the plastic under panels onto the bumper. Thats about it :D Be ready to buy new ones cos alot will DIE when you try to remove them :thumbsup:

Hope this helps.. Paul

Myself and Jappy removed his bumper when extremely hungover!!! Not easy when you can't focus properly!!

But like Paul said... alot of bolts will snap!

That's brilliant, thanks alot ladies and gents! Got it done yesterday. It took 2 of us nearly 6 hours to do! :blink: We managed to snap lots of bolts as you advised! :ffs: We had a few problems with the new wheel arch liners which didn't seem to want to sit properly but other than that it wasn't too bad. The reason we were needing the bumper off was because the car was bought with a horrible kit on and we were returning it to standard. At the moment the fogs are held in just by the two bolts at the top. They came with another bracket each but I cannot for the life of me work out how they attatch to the light or the car :wacko: If anyone knows could you point me in the right direction?? The fogs are pretty dam cool. Couldn't work out why they had 2 plugs with around 10 wires untill my mate decided to sit in the car playing rally drivers with the steering wheel and the fogs 'turned' with the wheels! Not bad for a 16yr old car :o
