Front Bumper Removal Tip

Recommended Posts

Came up with a bit of a solution to the old propping the engine when removing the front bumper conundrum - I've always felt that the middle bolt must be designed to carry the full weight of the engine, it just doesn't make sense otherwise (Obviously just when static) but never fully felt comfortable with it not propped.

 

Anyway, realised today you can easily disconnect the bumper brackets from the bumper, stick them back in the chassis legs and bolt the cross-member back on with the main big 17mm bolts. Et voila no need to mess around with propping, which is useful if you're jacking the car up and down a lot, or want to move it again with the bumper off (obviously don't drive it!). Not sure why I didn't notice this until now... I'm sure people have figured this out before, but I thought I'd share as a tip!
