Hi there,

I was just wondering if anyone has any information on the removal of the GD Sport Front Bumper and how easy this is?

Also, how easy is it to remove the black grills once this has been done? Do they just unscrew from the back of the bumper?

I'm looking to remove the front bumper, take off the black lower grills and then spray them gloss black before putting them back on?!

Thanks
Paul

yes it's more or less the same note you will need to know this to change certain bulbs in your headlights too

I was planning on putting some xenon bulbs in so I suppose the bumper will have to come off too change both headlights and side bulbs?!!

As far as I am aware you don't need to remove the bumper to replace the bulbs. Access is via the front wheel arch plastic liner.

the front bumper are all attached with plastic retaing clips, its a bit fidly job but can be done with a little patience.
To my experience changing front bulbs will not be needing removal of front buumbers but accessing it through plastic arches above the wheels. however, if youre planning to upgrade to xenon or whatever it is necessary to take the front bumper as well so to have clearer view.
