   Whats the best to undo the bolt at the bottom though as hard to get to? Wheres the bolts for the bumper to take off anyway?

   For jobs like these a Haynes manual is a winner, get down to Halfords tomorrow and grab one!
   
   Any iirc this is what you have to do to remove the bumper.
   
   Theres 2 on the bottom of the slam panel that can be removed with the bonet open.
   
   Theres 1 behind each wheel lining, so you need to jack the front up, remove the wheels and wheel linings to get at these.
   
   I think there also some self tappers at the bottom front edge of the wheel arch (1 on each side).
   
   I think thats everything, can't remember properly because it was a while ago i removed mine, and i wasn't really paying atttention to how many bolts there were or where they were located as i had my Haynes bible to follow.

   Fitted my angles without removing the bumper... just use an extension on the socket set your using and try not to bend the bumper down when undoing and replacing the bolts.

   i used a flat screw driver and put the socket on the end easyer to get in the tight space under the light so no need taking bumper off bt gues it wuld be good experience lol

    Done it this morning. Took me about a hour and three quarters. Used a pair of pliers to loosen the bolt so far then used a socket to undo it abit quicker, just a pain more than anything. And fiddling about with wiring.
