How to: Front Bumper Removal

[k1coupe]

The entire bumper cover with the grill in it slide out easily couple of inches, I need to disconnect the headlight washer hoses.
I will have photos of the whole thing posted tomorrow.
The bottom part of grill was held by 4 bayonets, super hard and impossible to pull out. This version of bumper cover does not have the 2 main bumper retaining bolts that need to be accessed thru the grill and therefor comes out with the grill still
in it, once out the super hard rusty bayonets can be hammered out from behind.

Thread revival! I'm struggling with the undertray. I think I have removed all the screws and bolts , but it seems attached to the brake ducts? Don't want to break anything as it appears quite brittle.

If you're talking 3200, then yes - the undertray comes out with the ducts. You'll need to remove the front wheel splashguards I believe. it should then just drop off.

Both wheel arch liners are out, do you need to disconnect the ducts from the flexis?

The ducting flexi hoses stay on the car along with No 22 in this diagram. The undertray should in theory just pull away from 22.

Perfect thank you. I'm sure it will be obvious once it's off. lol

Straight forward once ducts are pulled apart. Thanks for the help. A few battle scars on that, but all part of her history! lol
