I am going to replace the center black bumper but cannot find any installation instructions. https://new.minimania.com/part/G3NMX...hoCIKUQAvD_BwE

any feedback would be much appreciated.

Thanks
Amanda

 

I removed the whole front bumper assembly when I did mine. The clips that hold everything together are a PITA. Getting the bumper assembly off is easy though.

Watch the tabs on the back side, that takes a little time.

Amanda,

I'll be doing this job in about a week. New grill, new center bumper section, protective film on the fogs and a good cleaning and look around to see what's involved with a few future mods. I bought a new chrome surround because I heard that the tabs easily break when trying to remove. Which you must do to get those parts off.

I plan on taking photos of the job and post them to help others who might be wanting to do this job.

Cheers,

Joseph

 

Folks,

I just finished my nose job on my 2015 MCS. New JCW grill, new black bumper center piece, Chili Red brake ducts, Lamin-X yellow foglamp film, new chrome surround, refurbishing of all black plastic grill parts(re-dye and UV protection). 40,000 miles she needed a front end freshing up. I put on the JCW tuning kit in January, then the Eventuri intake and added the big pair and powerflex rear engine mount as well. More to come.

I took a lot of photos of the bumper removal/refurbish and will post a "how to" to help others with this job. I have to say, it was really easy to do.

Cheers,

Joseph
