HOWTO: remove front bumper part2

[JIN]

4. remove 8 clips and 8 screws from the under body of front bumper.

I attached diagram because the real picture does not make sense sometimes.

Diagram below only shows half of them(4clips & 4screws). so do the same thing on the other side.

Clips look like these.

When you remove the clips, pull the top part of the clip first and then remove the whole clip.

Here are the real pics of underbody.

Yellows are clips and Reds are screws

5. now remove your bumper carefully from side.

When you take the front bumper, be careful with fog lights cable because it might be(maybe not) short to put the bumper on the ground.

now your front bumper has been removed!

Headlight disassembly.

remove 4 screws from the headlight.

Fantastic work Jin,

Somebody put a sticky on this, useful for replacing those annoyingly placed parkers.

Thanks Acoustik.

I was trying to find how to remove the front bumper from this forum but only found small clues of it. <_<

BTW, the fog lights place was more annoying for me tho. :P

Nah mate.

The scratches were nothing.

I still remember that I smashed my nose with my hand when I was removing a screw in wheelhouse.

I thought my nose was broken badly cos the shock was like beaten by hammer. haha :P

Just to let you know, if you broke the clip, Toyota charge you $2 per clip, you better go to ebay to buy the spare clips. The clips are so fragile..
