Changing the front bumper on a late 760/940?/960?
The national VOC rally and the 700 series anniversary finally gave me the incentive to replace the front bumper on my 760. I took some photos along the way to provide a point of reference as I went a long - the 700 series haynes manual only gave instructions for the earlier cars and I have no idea whether they updated it for the 900 series Haynes as I don't have one!
Anyway heres how I got on and I hope its off interest/helps someone else with a cracked/tatty bumper. Overall the process was actually really easy once I worked out the best way to do it.
I hope this helps someone, or even if your bumper is fine its easy to take off for a respray etc... If I'd known it was this easy I'd have done it as soon as I'd bought it! P.S. It wasn't me who damaged it

Yep it is indeed surprisingly easy - which is rare for me to say! Also quite a satisfying job. Good luck
