SupraJames Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 take the headlights out, and peel back the wheel arch liners to get to the 4 bolts at the sides, be carefull removing those stupid plastic plug/screw things at the top and bottom on the main air dam, then jutst another 4 bolts underneath and should come off easy, 30 mins tops..! think there is a guide on here somewhere..!

theo sz 3.0 Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 i do crash repairs for a living.open the bonnet and take out all the screws that are on the top of bumper then check under the bumper for screws there should be screws on the inside of the wing aswell one on each side.remember to keep all screws in a safe place.

terawua Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 I did the meshing thing when I fitted my FMIC. I think you can find the intstructions over on MKIV.com they are under tech articles in the greddy FMIC install section IIRC. Good luck!

Guest Garfy Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Ok, I did this last weekend. 1) peel back the rubber seal that runs along the top of the bumper, where the bonnet shuts down onto it, in there you will find about five screws, remove them, this may not be as easy as it sounds because they are plastic and very easy to round off so be carefull. 2) remove both Headlights, there are (I think) 3 10mm nuts holding these on one next to before mentioned rubber seal and two on the wing side, tip you will find it easier to remove the drivers side headlight if you remove the front part of the airbox first. 3) Remove the lower front parts of the wheel arch cowlings, you may need to remove the under tray, mine wasn't there so I don't know 4) with these removed you will be able to get access to the 2 10mm nuts down each side of the bumper just below where the bumper meets the wing, remove them, and thats it.

Jake Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Garfy, mate you forgot about the fasteners in the top of the bumper's radiator hole/mouth thing. See Digsy's instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
