hi guys...

had minor incident over the weekend at a mates place with his driveway...

my front bumper moulding's gettin weaker and the bolt thats holding it on the right hand side is pretty much tearing away the plastic... whole side bumper is loose... (left is still good)

anyway...

can anyone tell me how to remove the front bumper properly... and how i should go about 'resurfacing' the hole for the bolt...

The front bumper is quite easy. Im not sure if this helps but from memory you have the row of screws under the hood which is quite obvious. Also a large bolt on either side under the hood. Once this is done then you also have a screw on each side just before your wheel facing upwards. Last screws to get are the few holding the plastic engine guard up.
Once these are all removed its a matter of CAREFULLY popping the plugs on either side. Should slide off perfectly.
I did this a few weeks ago no problems so I think I have it right. Willing to be corrected if I have forgotten something.
My tip would be to ask the help of a second person in removing your front when popping the sides. Can be a bit a little tight the 1st time.

Its a very easy job if u wanna fix it toan. DIY it. Take if off then just get fibre glass kit and patch it up. Only thing thats costly is gettin the bar resprayed.
