I'm in the middle of this at the moment, the tabs under the arch lining is proving a bit tricky at the moment!!

Nah. Remove the arch lining and the tabs are there to see.

first time i've done this alcazar!! How much of the arch lining do you need to remove?

Mate on my 04 WRX I took all of the lining out. Once removed the can see the tricky tab ! It's a bit of pain but makes reaching the tabs a lot more straightforward and you can make sure you line everything up 100%.

Remove the front bit completely: one press-in tab at the front corner /bumper edge, one inside at the front, it can then pull down, or out to give access to the bumper clips.

On classics there are two small bolts near the rear edge, and a set of clips along the top. I think newage have an extra bolt in the front centre?
