Take out the corner marker lights, Phillips head screw down through the top by the headlight under the bonnet. Take out both headlights. Take off grille. Below grille and headlights you'll find 6 - 8 plastic phillips headed 'screws' that are pop in clips, loosen the screws and pull out the clips.

There are two more, either side holding the bumper to the wing and also locating the mud shield, right as close as you can get to the wheel where the join is. These face upwards and can be a devil to get back in nicely.

Once all this is done it'll just pull off.

Good luck David API Engines Edited for typo's.

Erm, no it won't David.

Once the clips along the top front and at the back, just ahead of the wheelarch are out, there's another one each side holding the fake air inlet onto the bottom of the bumper, and if I remember right there are a couple of small bolts down there as well that secure the bumper to the crossmember.

Once all that is out, the final fixture will be a bolt through to the vertical stiffener in the lower air inlet (just below the number plate). With that out, it should (unless I've forgotten something else) slide forward.

Once it's free, you've then got to disconnect the foglights (if you haven't already removed them) and do something about the headlight washer pipe. If you disconnect the supply pipe from the hold valve, you'll have to bung the pipe to prevent the washer fluid draining out all over the floor.

Oh well! I was nearly right. I am gettin' on a bit and the old memory's not as good as it was.

Most people like a challenge anyway.

David Good Luck in 2004 all
