Front bumper removal?

I need to replace an inner front parking sensor. I assume the front bumper needs to come of Sad

Anyone done this? Any tips to make the job easier?

Thanks Thumbs Up

I had to do this job. It's not hard at all. The most complex bit was unplugging the hose from the washer bottle and draining it out. It's simple as.

Obviously make sure you have something non scratching to put the bumper on when it is removed.

A little tip, use a cardboard box in front of the bumper to take the strain whilst you unhook all the electrics and the washer hose. Discovery 4 HSE

Get a second pair of hands to help, that way when you unplug/plug the sensors, fogs etc the other person can hold the OS corner against the body whilst you do the NS and visa versa before it all falls on the ground ripping wiring out of plugs!

Another quick tip is to remove the fog light bulb rather than trying to unplug the fog light wiring...Much easier...
