Front Bumper Removal

[BigFas]

Diggy, you've done this before on Ali's, how easy / hard is this?

Anyone have a link on a DIY? Want to remove the front bumper next weekend to fit the new lip on properly and to possibly include some lighting mods

yeah, I saw that, but that's for the stock bumper. Not sure if the MTech is any different. I know for a fact that the fog light removal is completely different. My assumption would be that it would be very similar, but it'll be good to be sure

When you guys do figure out whats going on maybe you could do alittle piece for the rest of the EvoTechnik crew...

I used the same DIY with Alli.

From what I remember you have to undo all the bolts in the wheel arches, then are are two central bolts holding the bumpber in place, then it will just slide off. These two center bolts will undo to a point, and then you just pull on them.

as far as i remember when i fitted my own sport front bumper.
you don't need to take the fog lights apart first like the stock bumper.
you can just take out all the bolts and screws then pull the bumper out, then disconnect the wires for the fog and horn.
becos the fog is screwed on the bumper, so you can't take off the fog light after you've taken off the bumper.
