small bumper only and people call it various things. front valence is the most popular one and is held on by various 10mm bolts.

yeah, getting it off was a piece of p!ss.
I just wondered as theres a red big bumper 16v being broken near me. they're not an expensive panel but it'd have been less of a pain if i didin't have to paint it. oh well.

I assume genuine big bumper models had a tie bar then?
