Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey I need some help in removing my front bumper. I am putting on the gemballa front bumper and so I need to know which screws to take out and if I need to disconnect anything. Can anyone tell me how this is done?

POST 2Original post

Screws and plastic pins under the bumper. Screw behind the amber reflectors. Remove plastic pins from wheel well (requires removal of front wheels) Once wheel well cover is removed, remove screws from inside bumper that holds it to fender behind the amber reflector. Remove black plastic cover from over trunk latch and there are 2 other screws to remove that hold top of bumper to the car... thats about it.

POST 3Original post

i was able to take my front bumper off with wheels still in place. just takes a little persuasion.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
