when you look at all the threads regarding taking off front bumper you would think it nice and easy what they dont mention is all those bloody clips are like welded on

It's a pretty simple job, the only one that causes problems is the bolt inside the wings, sometimes they get seized and just spin (like mine did) Just take a grinder or a dremel to them and bobs your uncle Razz

Worst thing is when you undo it all and wiggle it off to find you forgot to disconnect the fog lamps.
