could someone plese tell me how to remove the bumper, cos ever since I've had it it's had a slight list and it's gotten to the point where I can't stand it anymore, but I have no idea how to get the bumper off. I haven't really looked though. But insted of making myself realy sh**ty trying to find screws that are holding it on I thought I'd ask some of the truly amazing people on Aussie Magna. lol
So if anyone could help me I'd be grateful

there are 3 small bolts either side that hold the front bar plastic onto the bodywork. one is at the back top corners of the bar you have to unbolt the front of the plastic guard liner to get at it, the second is at the bottom of the bar plastic on a stay rod, the third is under the indicator, the indicators have to come out to get at it. Once the plastic is free either side,
the grille has to be unclipped and there is another small bolt in the centre then
undo the one long bolt either side that holds the bar reinforcement in the body brackets (12 or 14mm head, bolt head points down, outside of chassis rail)
bumper plastic and reinforcement should now pull forward off the car in one piece.
hope this helps, good luck straightening it :)
hmm.. mine was different wen me and my bro fixed on the diamante bar... we only had a few bolts in the wheel arch on both sides, a bolt where the grille is located and a bolt on each side of those stay rod thingys

Hey guys I kinda fixed my bumper. It still has a bit of a gap but it's not as bad as it was. It was a bi*ch to get back on though. I couldn't get the da*n retaining bolts to go back on. One would line up but then the other one was out. I ended up driving to the mitre 10 to get a G-clamp to squeeze the bastard back on. I suggest if anyone else try's this to have a g-clamp at the ready.

Hey thanks I kinda got it back on now. It was the damn pins that wouldn't go back into their holes. To Quote Happy Gilmore,
What's the matter pin? You too good for your hole?
