How to remove m-tech front bumper?

BaoBui · 10-25-2010, 03:21 PM

Hi, today when i tried to remove my m-tech front bumper i ran into trouble

. I tried to follow the DIY that were posted here but it seems the mtech bumper has more screws and maybe some hidden?..

I removed the 4 screws above the grills.
About 7-9 screws under the bumper.
And then 3 screws in each wheelsarch but it still wont release. I have marked the area with blue in pic 3 where it still wont unclip. Need help thank you

The blue area should have two screws, pull back the plastic piece and you will see them.

That means I have to jack up the car and remove the wheel?

You can turn the wheels all the way to left, should give you enough room to get to the two screws.

The DIY is the same for all OEM bumpers....all the mounting points are the same.

As frahuang said, there are 2 screws in the blue area. Kinda hard to get too so a small screw driver is helpful.

You don't need to jack up the car...I didn't even turn my wheels. It was tight but not impossible.
