Hey guys,

trying to take the front black bumper, and (in my case) white metal piece above, and white plastic grille below off the front of the car. ive taken the black mesh out, unscrewed the top 3 screws, the spotlights, indicators, and the dozen odd screws holding the 2 metal bars in there above and below the lights, but i still cant take the bumper or anything off. are there any guides, hidden screws, etc?

cheers :)

To remove the bumper cover (the plastic piece), you also need to remove some nuts from inside the front wheel wells. Remove the wheels and liner. The nuts hold the cover to the fenders.

bolts to remove bumper:
First, remove blinkers, fogs and grill.
5 nuts holding the very top of the bumper to the header panel, accessible through
the opening just made (removal of above)
5-6 bolts just on the top of the opening,
5-6 bolts just on the lower part of the opening,
5 bolts holding the black sub frame,
2+3+2 bolts above the air dams,
3 bolts to the splash guard,
and the 5 nuts in each fender/wheel well.
