Is there a guide on how to remove the front bumper anywhere? I've had a quiz search but didn't find anything useful really. Seen as I'm changing all the bulbs thought it'd be easier to pull the bumper off for easier access to everything Cheers Liam
Hi Liam Taking the front bumper off is quite simple and i suggest taking this off if you want to do any mods. If you look inside the top of the front wings there should be i believe 3 - 4 phillips screw each side (left and the same amount on the right side) there should be 2 to the back of the wing and 2 at the front of the wing, these can also be taken off with a 6 mm socket. there is then 1 bolt (8 or 10 mill) on either side of the front lights again there should be a bolt on the bottom of the bumper connecting the bumper to the frame. There aint much but im at work at the moment so if you struggle later send me a message and I will try and take some photos of the locations.
Cheers I'll give it a look when I get home from work if it's stopped raining Can't wait to move house next month and have a bloody garage!
When you take the bumper off, how long is the wiring for the lights etc? Do you have enough spare to put the bumper down on the deck to free up your hands for light bulb changing, oil filter/air filter replacement? Or is it a two man job?
for change the bulbs you must only remove the tyres.. then show were screws holding the plastics before the Lamps. Kai..sorry my english worst..
I need to replace the front fog lamp assembly, not the bulb as the glass is cracked. Can I do this just by removing the wheel ? Or does the bumper need to come off ?
Just done the same and the bumper has to come off. Not too bad a job but now I have done it the next time it will be much easier. Replaced the unit with a secondhand one from Japan.
I decided to take my car to have a few small dents and scratches removed and the front bumper resprayed as it suffers a lot with speed bumps and pot holes so I asked them to fit the lamp for me at the same time. I provided the lamp and they charged me 500 Baht or around 11 GBP to fit it which I thought was worthwhile.
