Front Bumper Support VXR8

[S800VXR]

Noticed my front bumper appears to have dropped a little at the front, how do you remove it and is there a way of setting it higher..... Before I go at it tomorrow full speed.

Apart from the bonnet slam pannel poppers and screws to get to the bolts behind the headlights (I think) and the poppers in the front arches to get to the under wing bolts, and the screws on the scrape pannel under the car under the front bumper, and the bumper catches under each headlight unit....

Nothing is stopping you taking the bumper off its easy peasy

Ohh, i'm talking about an R8.

Straightforward enough

Remove the undertray & the clips on the inner wheel arch liners then the clips & bolts on the front panel you then need to unplug the wiring from underneath.
Then all that's left is 4 10 mm blots that go onto the leading edge of the wings (get to them in the wheel arch) these only have to be slackened off then the bumper slides forward & off

There are some clips that hold it on so a small tug is needed & it helps to get a helper for this so you don't drop it.

Cheers for that. Got another problem to sort out for now so will do the bumper laters.

Another way to remove the front of your car is to drive up to curb in a normal parking space and position the front just over the curb so the fish hook design engages with the rear of the curb.. hey presto when you reverse the whole front of the VXR8 comes away with a horrible crunching noise..got the t shirt.

Alternatively, pay the garage and save your fingers.
