   tryed to remove the bolt under the trim, and where it screws into on the actual car...has come off so the bolt just spins.
   
   tryed to get some grips on the nut type thing but the gap is too small
   
   If i remove the front bumper will it make it any eaiser to get grips on?
   
   or any other ideas please

   You will have to remove rad aswell so not worth all that, what i did was wedge a flathead screwdriver on the side and undo it.
