does anyone know what bolts i need to take off and where they are to successfully remove the front bumper ?

tweenierob

remove inner arch linings.
remove 4 x10mm bolts that hold bumper to inner wing (two each side).
undo 4x 19mm bolts, inside engine bay.. two on left are just behind drivers headlight next to ABS unit, two on right are just behing passenger headlight.. next to battery.
As you withdraw bumper get someone to unclip indicator and foglamp connectors..

Hey presto!!

you forgot the 2 x 17mm that you have to get at from underneath the car

they are located either side of the radiator and have philips screw heads in the middle of them!

just took mine off yesterday to fit the FMIC!!!

Does this apply for a MY00 aswell?? Are the bolts in the same place etc??

I know its different on an MY97 as you have to remove the grill and the headlights to get at all the plastic clips that run along the top of the bumper!

There are two ways of removing both front and back bumpers.
By far the easiest way is to use the 1st suggestion. I have MY98 and aside of a few minor differences they come off the same.
The 2nd way is to remove the plastic skin leaving bumper irons in place. Forget it as it is a nightmare
Be aware that rusty nuts and bolts fittings tend to be attached to very easily breakable and expensive plastic.
