1.jack it up put it on axle stands
2.take weeks off
3. undo screws that are on the ftont edge of the bumper (this will allow you to take the platic guards from the wheel are away. there will be a bolt on each side going up verticallbehind where the arche protecors where, undo these.
4.iirc there are 3 bolts holding the bumper on undernete the bumper at the front of the car, undo these.
5. open bonnet and there should be another 3 screws, undo these and the bumper should come straight off.

should take about 1-2 hours to remove bumper and put it back on demendent on how mashed/rusted the bolts are and how quick you can work.

hope that helps.

or, full lock one way undo the screws on 1 side push the wheels arch back put a socket in then there are 2 botls directly behind the wheels arch then under the head light htere is a back clip, bust it off it will cuase mroe stress than it is worth to keep. put a flat head screw driver prise it off then there are 2 under your bonnet same on the other side under neithe there is another 3or 4.

if any are rounded get a dremmel and cut a slit in the bolts head put un a screw driver and try that way.
if they are ceased or rusted try soem wd40/tar remover ont hem leave to soak then attack again.

if the bolt aboe the bumpers nut sis spinnign then the arch liner will have to come out then grip it with mole grips.

i have doen many of bumper swaps/ bodykit fitting, so i know it works

have fun.
