Removing front bumper???

[Gti Dave]

Hi everyone, just bought a a set of aftermarket headlights and need to remove front bumper to take out factory ones but don't have a damn clue how to remove it. I've removed all the screws visible on the top of the grill and screws along the underside of the wheel arches (4 i think) and got stuck scratching my head on the rest...Anybody out there removed their front bumper before? Any guidane, instructions and pics would be much appreciated.

Cheers.

Those clips marked as 2 is a bit annoying to remove.

Hi cygnus, thanks for the schematic diagram. Was googling the net for some guidance and happened to find the perfect instructions from the forge motorsport site. http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/media/FMINTPOLO.pdf
Hope this helps everyone...Going to try it out again soon.

Cheers.

aftermarket headlights hey....make sure you post up some pics when they are in!! what style are they??

good luck getting the front bar off, apparently its a bastard getting back on.

They're a projector beam style with black surround plastic housing. Not sure whether I should install HID's. Probably stick with standard white coloured phillips globes first.

Make sure you get the headlights alligned once you've got the new setup in. One of my pet peeves on the road are all those tossers out there blinding me with their white or blue HIDs.
