Default cant get me S2 front bumper off

just undone the two bolts inside the engine bay and the bumper still feels solid and cant rearly see anything else to unbolt

the bumper dont even jiggle about with the bolts undone so instead of strugling in the rain and wind il ask you nice chaps while i warm up in front of the computer with a sarnie

im removing the engine for a ZT conversion and removing the bumper will make things easyer to get to like the lower boost pipes, downpipe bolts ... etc

cheers

there are difinately 4 bolts/nuts that hold the bumper in place along with the 2 fixing screws.. the other two nuts/bolts that hold the bumper on can be a right bitch to get to... you will find it easier if you use a ratchet spanner to get to these as there is very limited space.
Also a lot of the time people either cut these second bolts off or dont bother to replace the nuts when re-fitting due to it being a bitch to get back on/off

I've only put my bumper back on with 3, didn't bother with the one behind the water bottle as it was an arse to get off...
