Title: Head Light and bumper removal
Post by: leeroy_25 on September 09, 2007, 11:06:24 AM
Thought I\'d stick this on one post as I think one may follow the other? Bearing in mind my car has no power at the moment how do I remove the pop-up lights and do I need to remove these to get the front bumper off? If not How do I get the bumper off.. found lots of fixings on the top and a couple inside the wing.. where are the rest!

Cheers

Take off the under tray and look up. No need to take off the lights but take off the surrounds to get to all the bolts.

Arhh. Good start.. How do the surounds come off? can you take them off with the lights down? I presume you do mean the light covers?

flip the lights up and you will see a black suround undo the screws that hold that on and you can see into the wing

Depending on who put the bumper on last some of the usual bolts may not be used. The obvious ones are on top in the middle (beneath bonnet shut), theres one under each arch by the wing, one either side inside securing it to the wing above the oilcooler area (need to remove headlight covers to access these) and some securing it to the undertray iirc.

Take the rubber covers off the knobs at the back and just turn them
