V60 front bumper removal

[muffking]

As a reference thread I thought I would post this after changing my front bumper today.

Instructions as per 2011 V60 SE:-


Remove T25 Torx screws in wheel arch liners (4x per side).
Remove the dozen T25 Torx screw all the way along the underside of the bumper.
Remove the plastic push down clips along the top of the bumper hidden by the bonnet (n.b. the centre pushes down so you can remove the clips from above).


Then you need to prize the sides of the bumper away from the wing by folding back the arch liner and pulling from behind. You'll also need to do this at the bottom to clear the under tray.
Finally pull the bumper forwards to drop it off the car.


If you have headlight washer jets then the last job is to remove the plastic brackets that hold them in place. These just are just held on with clips and pop of with a little persuasion.


This is what's left when you remove the bumper, although the upper lights remove by rising the clips open with a small flat screwdriver from the outer edges.

Thanks for the pictures, this will help me tomorrow when I have to strip mine down to replace the intercooler.
