After reading on how to remove the front bumper and that lifting the car is not required, I decided to take it off to replace the foglights and the lower grill. Both fogs have seen better days and looked horrible (see below). Managed to get a new set for a decent price (1 came from the US and the other from Germany). The lower grill had a hole made to it to attach the engine block heater (Finland things…).
The bumper came off without any issues, only tricky part was where it attaches next to the fenders. It has been off before and one of the brackets had some damage, will order both and replace them when I’ll get the bumper off for paint.
Bumper off
Parts taken off the bumper
New lot
Installed onto the bumper
And bumper back on the car
I have to alogn the bumper a bit better. And without the plate it has more holes than cheese. Will get those repaired with the bumper respray, hopefully still this year.
Next time there will be some mechanical work, maybe already next weekend.
