b_have Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Sounds a bit of a mare, you can't remove the bumper as the top fixings are under the bonnet (below the rubber strip) which bonnet is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 18, 2006 Author Share Posted March 18, 2006 Just a small hitch Steve its a Top secret II Carbon b'have. How about going in through the mesh on the bumper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 when it happened to my old escort i just the hell out the bonnet till it opened. Probably not an option in this case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted March 18, 2006 Share Posted March 18, 2006 Jack it up and take the front section of undertray off, then reach up to pull the wires by hand or pliers. Don't see what makes this so difficult? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraStar 3000 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 With little bit of mussel and brain power and shes up Didn't need to remove undertray, mesh or bumber. Just pull and push in a few sensitive places like a safe cracker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraStar 3000 Posted March 19, 2006 Author Share Posted March 19, 2006 funny how one days problems are fixed by a few beers & good nights sleep I'm using the standard loops and clasps to shut the hood and lock, then hood pins above each light to mintain the provile of the bonnet. Thanks for your help Rallure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
