Guys,

my bumper's got a dent and I've got a CF one given to me.

I wanna remove the current stock-as bumper.

How do I do it? I mean, i really dont wanna go to the shops for a small thing like this.

please tell me where the bolts are? I went under the car (at night-damn!) and couldn't find any bolts.

help ,please?

ta!

ok this is for a series 1, but should be the same. there are 3 bolts under the grill, then you have to pull the inner guards out and there is 2 bolts/nuts in each side, 1 right at the guard, the other about 25cm in. i also just completely unbolt the front reinforcement bar. its just 2 big bolts, 2 big nuts that bolt to the chassis.

yeah i have a new rear bar(stock) which i am putting in.

Well because it's one piece, are the inner guards separate pieces?

by the looks of this, its pretty unclear.

but yeah the walkthrough i gave for the rear bar should help if its rear bar..

      I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.

      [HOW-TO] Winter Steam-Clean & Odour Removal in 30 min

      Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up

      Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
