Anyone got any tips on how to get it off?

Ive removed the 2 screws either side, removed the 3 screws from the top grill under the bonnet, and pull the edges out. Disconnected the fog lights.

Should it just pull forward now and off? Its really tight under the headlights, around the main/dipped beam area. Are there more clips around there?

I think the bumper has been off before as the 3 screws under the bonnet were blue locktighted in and i had to drill one of them out.

Thankyou

As stupid as it sounds im still struggling. This is getting really annoying.

Got the 2 scrivets out and pulled the sides out, what else needs doing?

Also pulled the lower grill off, i just cant see or feel any other clips

Also if anyway is near derby that could help me pull it off that would be great

Thankyou

I will post up some photos tomorrow to show how free the sides are.

I have removed the two number plate scrivets

So in theory it should pull forward but it wont. Its stuck around the headlights.

Is it easier with 2 people both pulling foward, one either side of the bumper or remove one side of the bumper at a time
