Bumpers

[DaveH]

Where are the mounting points for the front and rear bumpers and what is the best way to get them off (without damaging any of the flimsy french brackets etc lol)?

[stevie_b]

for the front one you take the numberplate off (or at least one screw out so you can rotate it) and that will reveal a hole cut in the bumper, within which is a nut that you need to undo.

I've never taken my rear bumper off but from photos I have seen they also have a hole cutout behind the numberplate so assume it uses a similar method.

Hope that helps.

one bolt behind front no plate, 2 10mm bolts either side and 2 nuts on the front mounts

rear i cant emember

did both today

rear is the two side ones and 5 in the middle

there is no bolt thru the hole behind the numberplate.

instead, the bolts are accessed from underneath with 3 being along the bottom and 2 above it (inbetween the gaps between the 3 bolts at the bottom)

oh.. and 2 on the top (which u can see if you take your light clusters off)

there should be a nut behind the front number plate.
