Hey guys i hit a truck tire earlier this week. (See Pic) And i just got in the replacement fender piece in, but i need to pull the bumper off and fix the foglight (it is still connected to the wires but broken off the mounts). And im not exactly sure how to do it and one got a guide on how to remove the front bumper?

 

simple

2 Torx screws on the two sides, around where the turn signals are... just slightly above it, and to the inside, i believe they are T30

2 8mm screws inside the wheelwell to the front, they hold the reflector housing on

i believe 8 screws under the car, depend on the model year and whether the dealer has had a chance to change them, it could be all philips, or with a few 8mm and philips...

then the bumper should pop out, remember to unclip the turn signals, parking lights, side reflectors, and the temp probe

hope it makes sense... i have a tendency to give bad directions

 

Sounds easy enough, but does anyone have pictures just to be sure?

 

Look at : http://www.motoringfile.com/howto/MI...ll_install.pdf

Step one is 'remove front bumper cover'

 

Where did you buy your replacement from? Cost? Thinking of upgrading the Mrs. Cabrio to the areo front bumper...

 

So i tried it yesterday, the 2 torx at the top were easy, the corner i was pulling off already was missing the black trim where the reflector is. The harder part was all the clips and screws under the lip, they are 10mm and theres those plastic phillips clips, that are a pain to get off cause there plastic and they strip really easy. Come to find out my fog light got had been broken off its mounting points, the foglight itself is ok but the place it attaches to the bumper is damaged and needs to be replaced. I have to search RealOEM.com to find the right part.

 

i have a bad feeling its this WHOLE PART.

Post pictures of the damage. It may be possible to improvise something.
