I note there are 2 bolts in the wing/fender recess - one facing the fender and another facing the bumper. Do you have to remove both bolts to take the bumper off?

Cheers.

They hold the clip on to the bumper that connects the bumper to the wing, if that makes sense

I see, does that mean you can undo that instead of the one facing the fender? Cheers Nick.

Have a mat or something on the floor so the bumper doesn't get scratched on the floor or anything. I found it ok putting it back on by myself, but an extra pair of hands wouldn't hurt.
