   Hello fellows Saxp'ers
   
   Need a quick lesson lol
   
   Trying to remove the front bumper of my MK1 VTS, I havent got very far, as the not even the grills come out. Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how to get the damn bumper off? I don't want to break anything but in the case of getting the grill off, its the only way i can see it happening.
   
   Thanks guys,
   Mike

   2x Torx screws on front of Wheel arch liner,
   2x 10mm bolts (each side) behind the wheel arch liner
   2x 10mm bolts underneath the front.
   2x Torx screws holding the Wheel arch liners

   Undo nuts under bonnet holding grill on, i took out headlights too for more room.
   If u can remove front wheels for more room altho i didnt.
   Undo screws behind arch holding bumper on, jack up car and undo main nut under front of bumper.
   
   Thats all i did hope it helps

   Taking out the headlights, How easy is that?. Because i see you got to take the grill off to get to the bolt on the bottom of the light unit. Thing is, i can't get to that one. Im scared im going to break the clips that hold the grill onto the wing.
