If you have bought the bottom parts as well its easier to take the bumper off. The ones around the fog lights are just 1 screw then pull. But the centre one has lots of clips which are safer to prise out from behind so you don`t risk snapping anything. There is a guide on bumper removal on here somewhere, takes about 20-25 mins to do, you only need to lower the bumper off enough to get behind it, no need to disconnect fog lights/ horn.

Don't attempt to fit without removing the bumper... it's a nightmare.

Far easier taking the 10 minutes to remove the bumper, disconnecting the fogs and pulling it away so you have room... prise the old off... pop the new one on and refit the bumper - nice and simple.

I'd say it would take you an hour max to take your time and do it properly... takes two seconds to disconnect the fogs... the horn is in the engine bay, does not need to be removed.

Do you need to take the bumper off to fit the new one or to remove the old one? As mines smashed i might aswell cut the rest of it out and fit a new one, can the new one be fitted with the bumper still on?

you can fit it with the bumper on, i just snapped my old one off lol, then they just clip in, piecve of cake!
