well me son had his first bang hes 21 so had to happen, driving down hill in the snow 2mph and the cars in front are stopping he hits the brakes abs goes bonkers, and he sweved to the kerb to miss the 4x4.

There are 4 bolts hold the top of the bumper, exposed when you open the bonnet. Three bolts along the bottom edge, then 4 bolts to remove each wheel arch liner to reveal one bolt holding bumper onto wing. I think you will have to remove the bolts one side of the car to ease the bumper back into place. The following is cut and pasted from eLearn, sorry I haven't worked out how to do the diagrams.
