whiteee 0 Posted September 11, 2004 Cheers... thats it? if the slam panel comes off i would obviously have to take off bumper - but any of the cooling parts - radiator etc? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted September 12, 2004 If you change the slam panel you can leave rad in place and i think you can leave bumper on aswell. Disconnect headlight plugs " " bonnet cable " " Horn plugs Undo the 10mm headed bolts that hold the rad mounts to the panel then undo the fixing bolts and bobs your uncle Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bcstudent 0 Posted September 13, 2004 A lot of the slam panel fixings are behind the bumper....for the five minutes it takes I would definitely recommend removing the bumper first. The radiator can stay in place though, after the two top mounting brackets are removed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
woody 0 Posted September 19, 2004 I have a slam panel for sale pm us if you have damaged yours. Cheers Woody Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiteee 0 Posted November 6, 2004 How do i remove bumper??? How do you get to the bolts to drop it off the bracket? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike Edwards 0 Posted November 6, 2004 There are 4 really big bolts that go through the front cross member that hold it on. Don't drive the car with these removed as there will only be 2 small bolts holding the front of the engine up... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Storm 0 Posted November 6, 2004 Also be careful as the two bolts Mike mentioned are a must for the engine to stay in place. There pics on this forum and vortex, please take a look if your not sure :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STORM 2 0 Posted November 6, 2004 yeah---don't undo the smaller middle one :shock: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whiteee 0 Posted November 6, 2004 LOL... thanks guys.. after i removed the black plastic ducts (brake cooling?) i saw the nuts and figured what was what... came off so easy then - im a real novice mechanic but surely others must agree its not obvious at all as to what bolts are for what... when i first saw them i jus thought they looked a bit heavy duty jus to hold bumper on! All the front end is off... slam panel - bumper - passenger wing - headlights - bonnet... will have to show photos of work - so much to small after such a lil prang... bonnet barely damaged - it sucks! :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
