Morning all,
Quick question, is it possibly to remove the front fogs on my 206 without removing the bumper or wheels?
I want to remove the lense to spray them black, is this just a simple heat the lense with a hairdryer like with the front lights?
Thanks

Yes, remove the arch lines and get at them from there. Should have enough space.
2. No unless you want to be stood there for hours.. Pop them into the oven for 5 minutes on a low light, keep checking them, and then prise off the glass. They may need more than 5, just keep checking them untill you can prise off the glass pretty simply.

On the gti definately (as I tried last week) it was impossible to get the driver's side off as it needs to be lifted up to certain angle and there was something in the way so it had to be taken off. You might as well give it a try and if not just take the bumper off.

Just take the wheel off, only takes 30 seconds then you can get your head in.
Drivers side will be harder due to the washer bottle.
