Hey guys got another silly question, Im trying to get the passenger side front guard off, just stumped on the 2 bolts that bolt it to the front panel, how do I get to these? coz they're behind the indicator? It's probably really obvious lol but i just couldnt figure it out. cheers guys Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Oh Hayden do ya mean the plastic inside the wheel arch? Cheers Mike, I'll have to be taking the bumper off anyway I think, when putting my intercooler in so it may as well come off now.

Cheers guys, got it all off as you'll see in my car thread, pretty straightforward really. Only thing I'm a bit confused with is the upper bumper trims - (I managed to get them out etc), but when putting them back on, do they go on first, or do you bolt the headlights in first? because the trims have these clip thingys which sit underneath the headlights, which would make me think they go on first, but then the gap would be too tight to push the headlights thru?

Yes you have to have it if your bonnet pops open there's nothing stopping it smashing your windscreen etc ---------- Post added 02-10-10 at 19:17 ---------- Quote: Originally Posted by UNONT2 [View Post] trims on last. Yeah put them on last

umm if its still wet dry sawdust or dry cement works miracles otherwise chemical cleaner from warehouse and 3000 psi water blaster usually does the trick Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
