How To - Remove Front Bumper.

Post by Gizmo »

Since i had my front bumper off today, decided id take some pics to explain how to take the front bumper off.

There are 2 Screws both sides of the bumper in the wheel archs, Simply unscrew.

Image

Next there are 2 bolts under the bumper (10mm or 13mm)

Image

And Finally, remove the front indicators, to reveal 2 Bolts behind them, Undo them (10mm or 13mm), and the bumper should fall free, but may need some persuading

Image

Cheers!

on my EF2 they were 10mm, on the DX and GL were 12mm.

Must be an Early and late spec thing, as eary specs done have those spacers on the front panel for the bumper
