I don't think there's a guide on here, but I used this video when taking mine off.

thats a good idea :D
is the writing on the back of your ibiza black, or is my eyes deceiveing me? :blink:
your eyes are playing tricks.
forgot to mention - the car in video has Winter tyres on :p
Use Forge Motorsport's guide

thanks guys :) i'll hopefully get it off using a combination of both guides ;)
Did this last night to change my headlights - 30 mins in total start to finish.
Place carpet or old quilt on floor in front of car
Remove 4 x TX25 screws under each wheel arch
remove 6 x TX25 screws under the bumper ( take out the ones in the recess and the ones on the tabs cos it saves you from having to remove the undertray )
Remove 4 x plastic rivet in the slam panel at the top.
Unclip the two side panels and move bumper away from car and place on quilt/carpet
Reach in and unplug fog lights.
Assembly is reverse of above.

Thats a huge improvement! [B)]
The standard horn sounds so pathetic!!!
Big old bump but will the process of removing bumper be hampered by the xexon light washers?.
Thinking to set up an intercooler spray will need bumper off.
Cheers

Should only be a couple of hoses and a couple of wires extra to undo.
otherwise I would expect it to be the same job.
