Remove the Chin Spoiler

indicators

fog lights and holders

Temp sensor connector (front right of bumber if sat in C)

Undo plastic wheel arch protectors where needed

jack front of car up and get onto stands

each side of the engine are 3 bolts, undo the outside two on each side DO NOT REMOVE THE MIDDLE ONE otherwise the engine WILL drop on you

 

bumper slides forward

How do you remove the bumper lights?

 

are the 3 bolts at the end of the cross brace the ones to undo, are they the rubber bushed ones?

 

cheers, paint brush at the ready.

Bumper now sat behind the car in the garage, was easy to get of in the end.

 

Backed of the bolts at top if chin spoiler, then removed the 4 bolts on the cross member, indicators clipped out, disconected wiring looms, and washer jets for head lights. Bumper slid forward and out the way.

 

While the bumper is off, relocated CC to one side, and cut out corner of air box.

 

The real reason was to slow down the rusting process of the lower cross member, which is now in redoxide waiting for a black top coat. Will give a good coat of wax to protect it a bit more, should be up and running Friday.

 

The Bently Cd had some good info.
