Default AP1 bumper removal?

Im about to remove my bumper to install some fog lights for winter driving, does anyone have any tips to offer on doing this? It appears most of the fixings are either between the headlights at the top of the bumper or underneath?

I did try a search but its got even worse

Thanks in adavance

Don't fit lights

It is easy to take it off
1) remove black brace under front edge of bonnet
2) remove screw in each wheel arch holding it to wing
3) remove bolts along lower front edge joining it to under tray
4) carefully unclip the bumper from the two concealed clips under each head light
5) pull forward!

Whilst it's off get those washer jets colour coded

Fog lights

Agree with Mikey.

Hope you aren't planning on driving with them on Tossers who drive with them on for no reason do my head in.

Fog lights on the front are really unecessary in my view, they are meant to make you more visible, they dont improve YOUR visibility.

Bumper off can be a bit fiddly, just make sure you find every screw / bolt before you pull! There are a few tucked away.

And watch the ones on the lights, when you pull the bumper away, they can spring back and scratch the paint / lights.

It's a two-man job, to avoid scratches.

Washer pipes are a bugger to get off, especially in the cold.

You don't need fogs on the S2000
