Has anyone any advice on taking the front bumper off? need it off for a cai. cheers in advance .andy
 
Off the top of my head...open the bonnet and look down and theres 4 / 6 screws along the top of the grille, 1 in either wheel arch and two underneath the bumper, about 18inches apart in the middle.

Good idea to pop some masking tape along the wing, very easy to scratch it as you slide the bumper on and off.
 
Piece of cake man.

1. Open the bonnet and remove all those round black plastic trim clips (be prepared for a few breakages - little bastards these things are) that line the top of the bumper and grill.

2. Get under the front arches and look for a crosshead screw towards the rear of where the bumper meets the body - undo this on both sides

3. Get under the front bumper and look for where the bumper meets the arch liners - there'll be a crosshead screw that is also a bolt head - Undo this on both sides

4. Now just grab the bumper and pull it away from the front of the car. You should feel a pop as it comes away.

Enjoy fitting your new intake!!
 
cheers for the help guys, i thought i'd try and get help after my last attempt of removing a rear bumper off my last car, which took far too long.
