Can anyone show me how to remove the front bumper on my Barchetta? I know it can't be too difficult, but I've never taken one off before.

Removing Front Bumper
Lots of info can be found in my DocOrangePeel thread as I have had the bumper off more times then i can remember.

Thanks Doc. I read all through that topic (all 69 pages, no less!) but the only thing I could find was a picture with the bumper removed and some brackets circled in green. Are these the brackets that hold the bumper on?
The bumper mounts are up inside the wheel arch below the head light. Dont forget to unplug the fog lamps before you pull the bumper forward. I cant remember off the top of my head if you need to remove the inner wheel arch trim to get at the bumper mounts.
You can see one of the bolts in the picture above as its just infront of the right tyer.

So there's only two brackets that hold it on? One at either side? After I remove those two, the bumper should just pull straight off? Thanks!
PS, I circled the brackets I was talking about - are they the correct ones?

I also want to ask, what do you think about your BMC CDA? I was thinking of having one fitted.

Hi
Yep thats one and the other is the bolt directly to the left on the car.
I have a copper washer on the bolt I am talking about.
Well I am real happy with it and its not that hard to fit but if you want to do something like what i have done you are best of getting the GSR kit because I have moved the battery into the boot for engine bay space and had the intake tubing made by a local fab guy.
