As title, how do they come off, some young lady just decided to reverse into my ute, just a little scatch right on the corner that i'm not to worried about as i reckon it will polish out, but it has dropped ever so slightly ( something that will bug me ) was going to take a look if its easy to remove, didn't really want to make a claim against her for something so small but at the end of the day it was ok before she hit it so will if need be.
Think its got a slight ripple in the bar aswell.

Very easy to take these off. A couple of screws in the wheel arch, and I think 2 13mm bolts. Then just unclip.

Kewl, cheers for that, just got off my arse and had a look at the bolts and screws, when you say it just unclips, do i pull it or side out backwards?
Hoping once i have it off i can do something with it as i really don't want to put a claim against her for such a minor thing, accidents happen after all, plus she had a nice rack in her bikini top lol

3 little screws in the the wheel arch, keep an eye on the for clips that may fall off.

3 bolts in the engine bay, unsure on size 13mm?

Un plug foglights

Pull slightyly outwards from wheel arch, then forward away from the car

Just done that, but for some reason my front bumper came off and not my REAR, lol ;-)

I had a feeling that would be the case going of your first post, did you get a photo for us?

After you've got the bolts out grab it from where the screw came out inside the wheel arch and pull sideways. Could be a little tight on the bar guide but it should virtually fall off.


Also on the other matter...
