Front Bumper Removal (S40 2008 Model)
 

Hi,

Planning on respraying the front bumper and just wondered, is it fairly easy to remove the bumper? and how do I do it?


Thanks in advance.

Yup:-

Screws in wheel arch and along underside.

Take out headlights and remove screws there (i think)

There are some push rivets along the leading edge (be careful not to push inner right through - gently push to next click)

Then start to unclip bumper.

simple TBH

Thanks for the quick reply, does the ease of headlight removal depend on the type of headlight?

Mine are xenon, and usually they cause additional difficulties.

probably

think you need to discharge the ballasts

i'm not familiar with them tbh - ours was std lights and come out very easy
