Thumbs up replace your black bumper with a colour coded

i hated my black bumpers and want my s 60 to look like a sporting/gt and so i took it off, heres how

Tools:
socket wrench
screw driver

First you need to open your bonnet and find all the bolts holding the front bumper on.
theres some on the top and then you need to remove the inside of the wheel arch (screwed on)to get to another 2 bolts on each side! and the top, hard to reach.

then unscrew all the screws in the wheel arch and unbolt all the bolts ontop and inside

hay presto a s60 just became a sporting/gt

Re: replace your black bumper with a colour coded

Ive just taken mine off and sprayed them...

COMPLETELY changes the look of your car without a doubt.

the front bumper is a BIT*H to get off.. theres 2 bolts on each side, which unless u have a long wrench thing, they aint coming off!! but the back buper is very easy, its just 10 bolts, all easy to get to!

buy new bumpers.. or spray them... but either way, well worth doing!!

Is there any matt finish on your bumpers or is it proper smooth? I'm planning to do the same as you.

I have an SX model and i got the same matt-finished bumpers, but the car looks shocking with them. i saw a car the same colour as mine with colour-coded bumpers and i was close to chasing her up the road asking for a swap :P

Also, do you think it's worth doing the same to the door handles, as they're the same as the bumpers (sadly)
