Front bumper removal

[TJ2300]

Hey mon!

I've been trying twice now to get my front bumper off, but so far no luck (I use my car every day, so I have to assemble it after every attempt)

I have searched this site and others for a guide, but the intercooler thread here on SeatCupra.net does'nt do it for me.

Here's the deal:

1) I remove 4 x screws in the boot (top of bumper)
2) I remove the 8 x screws at the wheel well (2 of which are on the front bumper)
3) I remove 2 x screws stashed under the fog lights

Is that it? because the bumper seems to be attached to something still...

Also is there a trick to get the front bumper free from the side bumpers. There seems to be a recess in which they slide into each other. Do I just pull?

you need to prise the grey bump strip off with a flat head screwdriver and theres 4 torx screws under there, being very careful as its easy to damage the strip and paint

May be my english... Bump strip? Where is that?

the bump strip is the grey strip that runs around the upper part of the front of the bumper, as in the forge link above.

If that doesn't look like a mk3 to you, are you sure you've got a mk3 and not maybe a mk4?
