Important! : very quick quiry about removing front bumper

18th March 2011, 13:44

Hi atm trying to remove the front bumper nearelyy all the screws/bolts are out except one that is proventing me from removing

its the one on the drivers side that holders the bumper to the bodywork. not the corner retain screw. Managed to get the passangers side out as their was nothing in the way but on the drivers side their is a big black plastic bottle in the way directely below the windscreen washer funnel.

How do i get past this thanks

I can just about get to mine with a 1/4" ratchet and a 10mm short socket...or try a ratchet spanner

...no need to remove any thing to get to it
