You need to look for the bolts that hold it on. It is just a simple bolt off, no complication. There will be bolts on the top and underneath. Check in a Haynes manual or just investigate your front bumper and look for the bolts. If I remember from the manual, I think there is like 5 on top and 3 underneath.

It is easy, you just need to have a look and see where the bolts are that hold it on. Enjoy!

Sorry I can't be of much use, just telling you what I can.

pop your grill off (carefully). you'll see 3 10mm bolts along top. then look underneath and you'll see 5 more (one in each vent). you'll then need to pop the two plastic grommits out from the inner wing (dont lose the centre pins tho) bumpber should then slide towards you (pop ya fogs and indicators out too or unplug cables)

About 8 bolts I think, once the grills off that is.

Not a hard job by any stretch of the imagination! :wink:

Go to the top of the mk3 page.

Then go into the maintenance bit.  Its a sticky.

There's a post there on how to remove the bumper.
