Wellz ifs its the same as a 94 which it should b. U just got a few bolts, There is 1 on each side up top where the wheel arch is, Then there is 4 or 5 visable bolts, they aint realli bolts but those plastic ones, u see then once u pop ur bonnet, After that it sucks cuz u have to take out ur headlights to unbolts the ones under ur headlighs, So there is 2 on the sides left and right and 5 in the middle and about 4 under the headlights on each sides.
Hope that helps u, But its easy as.

Also what you can do is just remove your front indicators in the bumper, then looking straight through the hole where the indicators go there is i think two or three bolts on each side which hold the big bar/bracket which the bumper bar cover sits on. remove them oh and also where your wheel arch is the bumperbar corner you have two screws. remove them give ur bumper a tug and it will pop out.

haha youll be right mate just pull out your parkers, grille and bar indicators (to disconnect) then take out all screws along the top of the cbar and in the wheel arch and she should slide off the reo'

i do it all the time now when fixing headlights and changing front bars, mind you ive only got the wheel arch bolts and 3 across the grille area :P

wait... so if u i do ur way rags.. i dont have to remove the headlights? what do you mean by bar lights?

[nickiipoohz]

sh*t i took most of the screws off and foudn out that there are two screws under each headlight... i dunno how to remove the headlight lolz... can some1 help?

[mr_mojo02]

as far as i remember u cant take out the headlights without removing the bumper first.. when i did mine.. i took out the indicators in the front bar, theres 2 bolts on each side.. undo these and the bumper lifts up and out

[nickiipoohz]

when i took the indicators off theres only one bolt... unless i didnt see the other ones??? i'll check again in the morning lolz... cos i took the others off and something was still holding them in lolz. thanks dude

[mr_mojo02]

yuh theres one thats visible and another on the other side of that main bar.. its hard to see the second one

[nickiipoohz]

cool thanks bro.. ill do it later when the suns up.

With the Accord (04), it was all clips. Rather funny actually

[mr_mojo02]

thats a bit weird.. what happens when the clips snap lol

[nickiipoohz]

off goes the cracked bumper and a new body kit comes on

[mr_mojo02]

sounds like a good excuse to spend money.. wonder when my bolts will snap

:D

There is a screw on either side of the bar where it meets the guard.

Then there are a few 10mm bolts and 2 plastic clips that hold the bottom of the lip to the car, but the lip stay on so dont try to pull it off its still bolted to the bar at other points.

There is an opening on the inside of the bar next to the blinkers where you need to loosen the screws to remove the blinkers.

Then behind there you will find 2 bolts either side on both sides that hold the bar on.

You can't get to the head lights properly without taking the bar off if you think you want to cheat and do it quickly.

There are 4 screws holding the grill in place then you will need to put a thin flat blade screw driver down the end screw holes on the grill and push on the plastic tabs to release the grill which then will come off easily.

Then you will find 2-3 10mm bolts under the head light and obviously 2 on top which need to be removed before each head light will come out. Don't undo the screw holding the parker in as it's attached to the head light.

I tell you it's not fun as I recently did mine and upgraded the head lights to JDM style ones, JDM style blinker and added OEM fog lights to the bar and a front lip... you can check it out in my VB Garage or just click on my car details under my nick...

Patience you will need to do it properly, allow yourself most of the day for farting around as its fidly...
