What he said ^^^ !! and the two bolts are the ones holding the outside of the metal arms to the back of the bumper.

Probably got lost in the "Great Crash of 08

deefadog..

Take your indicators out of the big bumper.. get a bright touch and u should be able to see down a rectaglar shaped arm which insides houses the two nuts which the two bolts that hold the bumpers onto either side...

Suggestion.. Get a can of WD40.. put that little red tube on the end and stray sh!t loads of it onto these bolt ends.. Let it soak.. Do it a day or so before ur gonna do the work. and again a few hours before ur gonna try and undo them.. Mine were rusted up but still came undone with a large ratchet, didnt need a breaker bar...

Another suggestion.. jack one side of your car up in the air.. gives you far more room to get under the car. these for more room to put some musle into it!!!


Hope this helps...

was just about to suggest this!!! great minds and all that! :wink:

He he...  :grin:

Mad isnt it.. It all about going out there and getting ur fingers dirty is the best way to learn.. and jumping onto the forum if u get stuck to see how someone else did it.. and there experience about it. The internet and these forums are a resource people cant do without these days..

This GolfGTI has gotta be there best forum out there.. i;ve got me stickers now (GolfGTI ones) just gotta fit them...  :smiley:

Cheers
