front bumper removal

madwoody · 11th July 2006, 02:48 PM

just if anyone new wondered how easy it is to remove the front bumper on my supra
was either thinking of getting a different type or putting some of the stainless mesh that i have come across in the 3 holes on the standard bumper

so easy 3 pins on top under bonnet and the 2 10mm bolts either side of bumper one under the light and then the other one near the edge under the plastic cover you might have to disconnect some more pins the black ones underneath in the middle aswell can't remember that part to well as i did mine a while ago

This is actually much simpler than it looks.
In roughly this order:
Remove Air box
Remove headlights (easier with a long 12mm socket)
Remove fixing strips - upper & lower of bumper mouth & top of bumper under front seal strip. The plastic fixings for these are bitches, lever the plastic screws out first with a knife then pull out the retainers. Order some more from Toyota.
Undo outer edge of front arch liners to access a fixing bolt, undo this.
This bolt is one of two on a metal strip, the other one will be revealed by removing the headlights.
The bumper should just pull off. It's very flexible though, so be carefull when moving.
