No not really, all bolts on the bumper were easily accessible with a T25 and T30 bit, once the bumper was of it was just a case of lining everything up and drilling some holes for the mounting hardware
This link should help you out with the bolt locations on the bumper

I had a bit of spare time this afternoon so I set about spraying the dash from the factory silver to gloss black, if only I wasn't so impatient I would have done a better job but least now I know how to strip the dash apart, next time I strip it apart i'll be taking it to a paint shop to have it all done properly.
As bad as it is it still looks better than the standard silver and goes much better with the satnav.
Are you planning on doing the speedo surround as well?
I've been thinking of paint mine recently but haven't got around to it yet, any tips to getting the fascia panels off?
Yeah, I'll be doing the speedo surround at some point
The best tip is to just take your time, there are 2 hidden screws that need to come out in the air con unit, these are located under the unit and the radio needs to be removed first to gain access to them

Well It's been a while since I've done anything to the car but in the last week or so it's had it's timing belt and water pump changed, it's also had the cam chain and tensioner done as well as the oil pick up pipe and cam follower and to top it all of I managed to get hold of a turbo back BCS Powervalve exhaust and and a Cupra R rear valence from a mate who was selling his Cupra.
This is the only picture that I have at the moment, will hopefully get more tomorrow![]()
Love this exhaust / valance set up, mine had one that was took off unfortunately before i purchased it, would love another one, tbf really liked the triple 3 one as well![]()
