How to undo front panel?

MikeSW17 · Apr 22, 2016

Hiya.

So some b****** can't get out of a parking space without hitting other cars.

Needless to say they didn't leave a note.

Damage as in photos below.

The question is, how do I go about removing the lower front panel or loosening it enough to get the 'slots' back onto the tabs? As in where are the securing bolts?

I think the crack will close (almost invisibly) when I take the pressure off.

Looks like it should just pop back in.

If not remove the screws in the wheel arch to give you more room to play with. Don't think it's as bad as it looks in the photos.

Yes I'm sure it isn't that bad, it's plastic and I think it'll pop back into shape when I release and refit.
It was just the location of the bolts (in the wheel arch) I wanted to get an idea of before I started.

take the bumper off--20 minutes to do and then you can see what damage there is--Dave

Tomorrows' job it is then

.... weather permitting

when you go to remoe the 2 torx screws within the wheel arch-take the bottom one out and the top screw loosen it off and before removing push it back in until it stops--this loosens the holding clips and you can then pull the side of the bumper away from the wing--towards the side--makes it easier----Dave
