does anyone know who to remove the front bumper? any pictures would be great. thnx

 

I've got some photo's taken while transitioning to JCW Aero kit. I managed it without any instructions. Just take your time and try to find all the plastic rivets. The ones on the arches were my biggest challenge. You'll need to start at the grill and work your way down, if memory serves.

thnx man that cleard up the problem i was having.

 

What tool are you using to remove this rivet (from your flickr set)? I knocked my lower bumper trim out of place and want to try to fix it myself.

 

That's what I use, too. But you can also just crank the wheel over and get enough clearence to use a regular screwdriver, too. Gives you enough room to get your hans beind the liner when you need to as well. Just a thought.

 

sorry for bumping such an old thread but how many screws attach the bumper to the car?

 

download the instructions for the Alta FMIC.

 

yes, i too want to know what tool you used, ...my real question is, what is the best way to remove the plastic rivets without breaking them? Is it a screwdriver and just pry and hope they don't break? ...or is there some special tool?

(I am taking off my JCW front bumper to install an intercooler).

 

if you go to an autoparts store... usually they sell a "body clip lever" its basically a small flat blade shaped tool with a split down the middle. Think of it as a thin flat nail puller like on the back of a hammer.

 

thanks, ...i'll look for one.

 

i need to do this too
