Front Bumper to come off
After taking my car for its annual MOT on saturday it turned out that over the years the front bumper had angled itself down at the front somewhat, so the same ramp as it went on last year decided to torture my hockey sticks this year, ripping them off...
There was a loud crunching noise, followed by a loud noise from me, anyway I think its time to take the front off and reseat it.
Can anyone offer any advise, what breaks...etc what to look out for.

the plastic welds can break that house the quarter turn plastic locks, so the lock is in place but the panel it is locking to is no longer connectd to the bumper, causig it to sit up at the back, exactly like you describe.

Ok, will do, but after this accident the other day, its come forward at the top just in front of headlight on drivers side, so if you stand in front of car and use your knee, it pushes in easily, but wont stay there. On the same side of the car, looking at the side where wheel arch is its moved forward there too, so it kind of steps when you follow the arch profile.
