Fitting Guide
- Begin by jacking the car up and remove the two front wheels
- Once up in the air, remove the inspection panels from both side of the front inner arch guards - peeling the inner arch away from the edge of the bumper
- You will now have access to remove the first 3 8mm bolts which are located on either side of the bumper
- Next remove the bolts which are right at the front of the bumper.  In addition there are 3 plastic plugs that hold the bumper on, which need levering out of their holes
- The final parts that need to be removed are plastic plugs that hold the under tray on.  The bumper will now be loose, and can be removed from the vehicle
- Once the bumper is removed, you can clearly see a large black beam that has the over riders and a chrome strip or grille attached to it. This can removed by levering out plastic plugs that are located on either side of the over riders
- With the plugs removed, the front parts should just slide off, leaving 2 crude pieces of plastic sticking through - these need to be cut off with a hack saw
- Next lay the grille in the mouth of the bumper and mark where the eyelet holes are in the mouth
- Now remove the grille and drill small pilot holes where the screws will be fitted - refit the grille and hold in place with self-tapping screws
- The bumper can now be refitted to the car - in the same way it was removed
