do you have to take the back lights off a corsa b to take the bumper off? or is there an eaier way off taking it off?

 

[Lee]

Nope you don't need to take them off. First off you need to get under both rear wheelarches and unbolt all the plastic nuts that hold the rear arches off. Once you have done that you will see two more securing screws exposed where the arches where, undo them. Then undo the 3 main securing screws along the top of the bumper.
There may also be a few screws securing the bumper at the bottom.

is it easy to take off the standerd bumper and put another one on?

 

[Lee]

Yeah, the hardest part is getting the arches off without snapping any of the plastic nuts. I'd recommend removing each rear wheel in turn just to give you a bit more working space, and clean the inside of the arches so you can see it all better.

A replacement bumper is just the reversal of removing the standard one, providing it's a good quality bumper.

on one side the arch was glued on think the last person who owned it broke it and its come unstuck a bit so that side will be eaier to do lol

 

[corsapower]

is it hard putting another bumper bk on coz its not standerd one and its low to the ground

 

[Lee]

Not really, like I say it depends on the quality of the bumper. You may have to drill some mounting holes on it but it's nothing to complicated. Just put it into position once your old bumper is off and see how it fits.

 

[corsapower]

it allready had the holes for screwing on lol

 

[Lee]

Should be straight forward then. What bumper is it?

 

[corsapower]

a carzone back bumper and Iam fitting a front jap bumper and side skirts

the side skirts are gonna be a pain to fit lol

 

[Lee]

They will be.

 

[corsapower]

is the front bumper easier to take off than then back bumper?

 

[Lee]

Same again. Need to take the front arches off, or at least loosen them near the front. Then there are some securing screws on the top of the bumper and on the underside of it.

 

[corsapower]

I need to take the plastic arches underneath the arch so i can get to the bolts to take the bumper off how do i take them off?

 

[Lee]

You shouldn't need to, if you look closely there are a couple of little recesses, that's where the plastic nuts are.
