BlowMyWhistle 0 Report post Posted May 19, 2012 Hi Y'all. I am in the process of stripping the front of my car (while it's off the rd...) I got some new bumper strips, and headlights, foglights too. All the searches I do give me the US version, 'pry out the side lights, remove bumper strips etc. Looked at the write up on here, but can't see where to start? I'm not just gunner take to it with a crowbar! Do I need to take the front trim/ number plate mount out first? Fog lights was easy as, couple screws, nice crystal oems. Changing the bumper strips to USA style with side lights. But step 1, getting them off without wrecking anything... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
