Getting the bumper of the car

[jeucken]

I'm still disassembling my car.
Now can someone tell me how my front bumper and my underspoiler is attached to the car? I can't seem to get it off....please help.

Under the fenders there are a few screews - you must get them out first. Go under the bumper and check for other screws - there should be about 8-10 screws that are keeping bumper in place. I had it off before and I remember it wasn't hard to get it off.

Good luck!

Major thanks
And what about the side plates (don't know how to call that in english). I mean the pieces of metal around the front wheels. How do I get those of?

Pretty cool.

Maybe a stupid question but what are these 2 round things behind the bumper?

edit: I guess that's the horn. :oops:

And how do I remove that strip of metal below the headlights?

[FIN]Teme - where did you found that nice GTi bumper?

Anyone?

And the bumper still isn't of the car, I managed to get the lowest part of the underspoiler of the car. Now I'm having difficulty with the underspoiler since the screws are behind the bumper and I can't get the bumper of.

i have removed mine more times than i care to admit. it is very easy, just heavy and cumbersome.

[jeucken]

Thanks for the help.
But my front consists of 3 parts not 2.
From top to bottom:
- Piece of metal below the headlights
- Bumper
- Underspoiler

The link from the VR-4 forum showed a bumper and underspoiler as one.
With my g the bumper is seperate from the spoiler.

And FIN, can't you send me some helpfull PDF's?

[ken inn]

the piece of metal below the headlites does not have to come off. when i first removed my bumper, i took it off, it is a real pain. to get it off, you have to remove the headlites. dunno about a lower spoiler, the jdm vr4 bumper comes off the same way the usa bumper does, and it is 1 piece.

And the piece of metal below the headlightes MUST come off. (Since it is damaged too :oops: )

Bumper and underspoiler are off the car now.
Next up: Headlights and piece of metal below the head lights.

I had to rebuild the front of my Lancer [car I had before the Galant] and it had the same metal strip under the lamps. it was held on simply by a bolt either end [hidden by the headlamps and indicators] and one in the middle behind the grille. The Galant appears to be the same from what I can see on mine

[jeucken]

That sounds easy. :-)

[jeucken]

Alright, headlamps are off and the 'sub'-bumper (piece of metal behind the bumper) is also off. But the strip of metal below the headlights is still there, it has a total of 5 screws, but most of them are rusted so I have to saw them off or something.

[jeucken]

Alright, that metal strip is finally off, now only the radiator and the piece of metal on the left side (has a dent in it). And then it's ready to go to the shop.
