I'm trying to get the front bumper back on and it's fighting me all the way - I can see the clips that are the problem. I'm assuming there's a knack...

I've found it's easier with 2 people. Gently bend the side bits outwards so they go round the wheel arch liner.

I also had issues with the front bumper,I put some grease on the side clips at each corner to ease it on.
Sadly one of my retaining tags broke on the bumper. It was a pain to fix, so be careful.

Actually just managed it by myself with no breakage - hooked in one side first and a mixture of pulling and percussion ultimately got it home smile
