Can anyone tell me where the bolts / fixings are that hold the front bumper on are ??

Thanks.

 

From underneath there are 4 bolts on the crossmember to be removed (Well 2 removed and 2 slackened..) and then at each corner there is a black plastic clip which you need to turn 180 degrees(ish). The bumper should be free all you'll need to do is pull/ push it forward. The washer bottle will still be connected so you wont have that much flex untill it's disconnected.

You can also remove the small bolts under the front of the bumper, to the left and right hand side of the number plate, underneath will be 2 holes and these are used to adjust the height of the bumper, it can be done this way but I'd suggest you don't as those bolts are almost impossible to get back in

Once you get underneath it should be quite clear the bolts that need removed, they look tricky to get to but it's easy enough. Oh, and be carefull when twisting the plastic clips as they're easy to snap, very very easy..

 

Defo remove it using the 4 17mm bolts as described. it can be a bit fiddley with the airdam's in place, and the washer bottle it a pain in the ass too

 

I'm too old (33) for crawling around on the ground Lol.

I'm use to following the Haynes manual for other cars that I had that told you to remove 20 things when there was a short cut that meant you only need to do half that. Always better to ask to see if there's any short cuts.

 

i always remove the three bolts behind the numberplate and then twist the two clips on each corner. dont forget to disconnect the indicators and fogs before you pull it off .
