Did you break the clips? Dealers say many bodyshop break those clips when taking off the bumpers and they try to sell me these clips saying that I will need replacements for those clips for sure when I take off my bumpers.

 

which clip are you talking about? You mean the ones on top by the radiator? (plastic ones?)

 

No nothing will be broken it you follow the helms and do it right.

They are trying to get your $$

 

broke one, cause i kicked the bumper off
i got in an accident and fucked the whole alignment of the bumper and headlight
had to do a temporray fix so i can drive to school ect....no money to fix yet.

them clips dont' really hold up. im probably going to zip tie them for now on
theres like 4-6 which connect it to the fender...but everything else is ez

 

Even with the Helm's it is a trick to remove the front Bumper Clips for the Red "A" emblem.

Debadging, Destickering and Dewinging my whole R took about 2-3 good hours of patient work including about 1 whole hour just for the frnt bumper and "A" assembly.

Take alot of time and be patient and work it our slowly. I/We did a slow good job and still managed to just barely scrape a little under the front badge.

Any help you need with this, I'm here. Especially since I got some poor advice for my work and am more than willing to help and assist you with my knowledge.

Good luck,

A.

 

thanks for all your help. It was easy. Took me 1 hour to take it off and put it back on. I wasn't doing this for fun. I was doing some steathy work behind the bumper
