Default escos front bumper removal

Tried to get my front bumper off my escos for the first time last nite and after a while got fed up with it. The two holes on the front of the bumper with the caps on, do they just adjust it? how many bolts hold it on? any help would be greatly appreciated im sure loads of you guys have done this before. thanks. Matt

you need a long reech star drive up them 2 holes and just take the bolts right out then either side of the front wheel arch there is 2 twisty plastick bit that you twist and pull out

Job jobbed, once you done it a few time its easy

To remove the bumper there are 2 bolts each side behind the bumper that screw through the chassis rails (17mm heads) when they're out just unclip the sides and that's it. Do not try and remove it by unscrewing anything on the outside!
