looks great , was it a dificult jobt o swap them over ?

still cant believe cars these days still come with silly orange ones !

 

its a bit difficult yeah, got a pretty big bruise on my hand from all the scrapes and bumps :blush:

 

there is a guide if you do a search for front bumper removal, but as mentioned in that post you can do it without removing the front wheels if you just do a full wheel lock to either side

 

You basically have to remove a number of clips from the engine bay, a number of screws from underneath the bumper and then some really annoying ones behind the black plastic wheel surround, then it just slides off, took me about an hour and a half to get off and back on again.

I have just changed my reflectors as well. Opted for none bumper removal method. Passenger side was a piece of cake, drivers side was a tad more difficult with the washer bottle. the bolt holding that on is from the front so you have to have small, flexible hands (girlfriends are brilliant!!!).

 

Only reason I opted for that approach was because I was also changing my Z fender emblems so needed to work under the archers otherwise I would definitely recommend the bumper removal way! Still its done now. :lol:
