Removal of front bumper

[Veedub68]

I've looked, honest, but I can't find a guide for removal of the front bumper. I can find it for the rear, but that's already been done. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Thanks. Doesn't look as difficult as I thought. Fingers crossed

Can ayone confirm if the "special tool" at 28:00 is a spline head or just torx? Are there any of those on the A2 (spline) as I dont have a set and might need to invest.

Can't remember there being any spline bolts if you're replacing the plastic outer skin. It's all Torx and plastic push-rivets.

It’s an XZN at 28:00 for removing the front crash bar. Doing it with a torx will just round it.

Ah, that explains why I don't remember a spline, I never needed to remove the crash bar Thanks Steve ?

Thanks for the link and a heads up on the tools for the crash beam. Thankfully I have a set of those *XZN* driver tools.
