ow dear expensive

There are 4 bolts holding it in place the 2 onto and there are 1 at either side, 1 behind between the grill and light and 1 behind the bumper on the side.

You will have to drop the bumper foward to get to them theres a torx 20 in the wheel arch that you undo and then remove the plastic trim and headlight wiper if it has them and theres i think 2 bolts hold the bumper on at either side and the plastic clips under the bonnet above the grill.

Hi Ian,

Had the same problem myself. Had to go to main dealer as I couldn't get parts elsewhere (Swedish/German Euro etc.)Cost me a small fortune!

Nearly £280 + VAT (Fitted)

Maybe pattern parts are available now?

Good luck.

Cheers,

Craig
