Hi & welcome :wave:

The front foglights just need to be unscrewed and lifted off. There are 2 brackets and you need hexagonal screwdriver bits to undo them (it's obvious where they are looking down from the top under the bonnet). It will be a push fit for the connectors I think (mine's in the garage but I can check if you get stuck).

I do have a proper workshop manual on the computer, so can look up more complicated stuff if you need it. I'm not very technical though, so it may be the blind leading the blind!!

Hope that helps

Hi Palio,
You are a star,thank you so much. I will get my sleeves rolled up on Sunday and give it
a go, if I need any more help I will give you a shout. I am new on this site and everyone is so helpful and friendly I hate using garages( if they actually agree to work on it)as there seems to be a severe lack of mechanics in Belfast who actually know what they are doing.

No problem - I hope you sort it ok.

Just seen the pics - the Coupe looks good even before the respray.

I tend not to get in this section very often, partly because my Coupe is usually fine (fingers crossed), and mainly because I'm usually with the nutters in the Classic Panda section!! If you need something looking up, you can always PM me just in case I don't spot something in here.

There are others who are very helpful in this section, but it's not the busiest on the forum. I guess there aren't that many Coupe's owned by FF members. There's a huge amount of info on the Fiat Coupe Forum too, but personally I don't find it as friendly as FF, so I usually scurry back to the Panda madness pretty quickly - worth bearing in mind if there's anything you get stuck on though.

Looking forward to the updates,

Gavin.

just off memory. Unbolt the lamp and pull it forwards. There is a catch underneath if my memories correct so it has to be pulled forward first then upwards to release.
