Help please?

[Myles]

While trying to remove my damaged a/c pipe , I've come to a stop . I think I'll need to remove the front bumper/nose-cone to get access to the condensor(radiator type thingy), `cos it's the hard pipe that leads to the bottom of it that I need to replace .

Any tips/help/suggestions on removing the bumper?

I take it I'll need to remove the headlamps - and I can only see one bolt for them , how many bolt are used to afix the lamps?

 

edit: its got the active spoiler to add to the complications

3 bolts for the headlights, don't know about the bumper:eek:

I can see the obvious one , nearest the bonnet catch , there's one near the foglamp end the bolts to a bracket on the wing (I think .... is the 3rd one underneath?

1 on the top and 2 down the side. You get to them from the top. Cheers for the paint reply but need a aerosol. Hoping Darby might know...same colour of car

When you're going to remove the front-bumper, you have to loosen 2 bolts (one on each side of the bumper), which you only can reach if you uncover/loose the plastic parts in the mud-guards. The other bolts to detect is quite simple.

 

Good luck, Don

2 bolts on each wheel arch

a couple under each light

plastic screws top middle under rubber strip where bonnet touches

radiator gap plastic screws top of hole and bottom of hole

and finally around the edge underneath i think there were about 6 bolts

Myles,

Can you take digital piccies of this procedure as you do it? For others to use as reference in the future?
