Removal of the front bumper cover

[Big Al SVT]

Does anybody know how to remove the front bumper cover? Why I ask is someone hit me in a parking lot last month and found a new cover painted.

Jack up the front of your car and remove the front wheels. It's easier to do without the wheels there. There should be a screw towards the front that goes from the bumper to the wheel well cover. Take that off.

While the car is up, you have to clear the lower grille ducting. There's a plastic dam there that may be connected to the grille.

Remove bulbs from the turn signals in the grille and side markers.

Unbolt and remove the upper grille and headlights (standard 10 mm wrench/socket will do).

It's then a matter of loosening the bolts/screws holding the bumper cover together on the underside of the fender and under where the headlights and grille were.

I believe that's all. Only other thing I can recommend is having a friend help you.
