Lol i've taken off my front bar off one too many times! Heres how you do it.

This is for the face-lift corolla (05-06)

First of all you need the following tools

Flathead + Phillips screwdriver

10mm (deep would help but not needed) socket + Socket wrench

Please note this is from the top of my head and i'm about 90% sure this is correct (once i get home from work ill double check it and hopefully get some pics up)

Ok, there should 6 bolts, 3 clips and 2 screws holding your front bar in place

The 4/6 bolts are underneath your car, and the other 2 are on each side (near the wheels-guard) - Note that to see the 2 bolts on the side u need to sorta pull the plastic bit back. Use the socket wrench to take them all off

Once all 6 bolts are off, pop the bonnet and use the phillips to take off the rubber stops (its the thing which stops the bonnet from hitting the chassis).

Next to those rubber things should be 2 clips. Use the flat head to take them off. The other clip should be in the centre (behind the toyota badge).

Once all are off, carefully pop out the sides of the front bar by pulling it from under the guard.

Once it has been popped out, pull the front bar upwards and it should just come off.

I'll get some fotos tonight or if not now then by the weekend
