Front Bumper removal

I've had a bit of a prang in the car resulting in a cracked front bumper. There's one on ebay but I was wondering, is this a job I can do myself?
Is it quite hard to remove and replace the front bumper or should it be pros only? Are we talking a couple of bolts?
Any info much appreciated!
 
It is do-able Nobby, but it's not a 5 minute job.

You need to remove the front wheels and arch liners to access retaining screws, then remove the bonnet to acces some more screws at the front then remove the undertray and take the remaining screws out.

Because you haven't got a service ramp (or maybe you have!) you'll have to remove the wheels and liner on one side, take the screws out and re-install the wheel then move to the other side and do the same.

It's a pain in the backside to do, but you'll save a ton of labour costs.

Cheers,

Mike

I think your last sentence has persuaded me to give it a go!
Would that servicing CD that you're selling tell me the location of those screws that need removing?
