Ok, how do you remove the front bumper please? 3B...

Indicators
Fog lights
Screws in wheel arch - Nasty
Bolts behind fog lights
Unclip from undertray
Fight with headlamp washer hose to remove it, then decide to leave it connected.

Don't attempt it on your own first time.

Easy

soak threads of bolts in wheel arch for a week in WD-40, turn wheels on full lock to remove them, indicaters/fogs out two bolts each side behind fogs 13mm socket IIRC on a long extention,

use a friend or the mrs to hold the other side of the bumper while you pull it off,
alot easiyer to put back on if you have someone to help you

Tell her how much your paint costs, and if she doesn't help you'll be needing both your front wings doing as the bumper gently takes the paint off when it rolls forward.

I did it myself by sitting on the ground supporting the bumper with my legs. Worked for removing and refitting. Obviously, have everything undone except one bolt on each side.

Similarly I just use a toolbox to rest one side of the bumper on, plus my legs . I don't bother asking the wife - the toolbox is far more helpful. I've found no need to usually undo the washer hose - just lie the bumper down on a suitable bit of cardboard or rug etc. next to the car.
