QP5 Front bumper removal
Guys,
For those of you who have seen my QP5 (2004 QP) , you may have noticed that I have a little something to address when it comes to the front plastic bumper (lower right area). I hit a grouse at around 60mph on a dual carriageway. Damage was minimal but the impact did crack the bumper. The poor bird on the other hand snuffed it - if there was any consolation it died instantly so it hopefully didn't have any time to feel anything.
I am contemplating getting a used bumper (should cost around £300) as opposed to repairing it. Excuse my naivety when it comes to paintwork but I assume the bumper can be spray painted before mounting to the car? I appreciate the guys doing the painting may need the car there in order to match the paint of course.
Anyway, have any of you seen any instructions for removing the front bumper on a QP5 or maybe one of you have undergone such an exercise before and can offer a brief guide.
Any help/advice appreciated.
Cheers, Dhanj
