How to remove front bumper?

[Philly_Sweden]

I have seen mr.Rogers DIY or what hes name was but he didnt have the headlight washers.

Do I need to remove the caps for the washers and then the washers itself before I take the bumper of?

Please help.

No, the washers and caps stay in the bumper just watch the hose connecting the washers.

Ok, so how to i unplug the hoses?

Don't worry they're long enough to stay connected when you remove the bumper. But you'll need to lay the bumper on the ground in front of the car when you remove it so I laid an old piece of carpet in front of the car.

Ah OK. Thanks mate

Need a respray because of stone chips.

Going to respray the side skirts as well, the CSL's love to chip my car

Emotive subject for some but mud flaps certainly help reduce stone chips on the side skirts. Don't know what colour your car is but you hardly notice them on a black car like mine.

Thanks, I've always liked the Coupe in Sepang - I suppose I could have read your signature block.

If you're respraying then you will end to remove the rubber tubing from the headlight washers, right ! They just pull off, but to stop the washer bottle emptying on your feet / hands / drive just use a clamp to close them. Unless you don't care of course

I have one more stupid question

I've read some where that you have to be careful when you take the bumper of from were the bumper meets the fender, right?

Look at my stupid picture and try do understand what I mean, do I wiggle the front to the right or towards me to get those "clips" to release?

TIA

Undo the arch liner so you can get your right hand behind the top of the bumper where your top arrow is.

Get your left had under the bumper directly below at the bottom of the arch.

Lift with your left hand, then pull straight out and slightly upwards with your right in the direction of your top arrow. You need to be firm with it
