Front Bumper Removal

[Guest Robley]

How easy is it to remove one? and how many seized bolts do i look for

Its easy hun...but when i took Gertys off a few bolts were well and truly stuck.Can be a bugger to get to em aswell so expect a few scratched knuckles.How come you gotta take yours off then?

[Guest Robley]

The 4bie has a better bumper and the standard fogs in it, My front bumper is looking right s*ite at the mo

Theres bound to be a colour difference though.Why not just get yours painted?

[Guest Robley]

Its not the same colour as the 4bie tho ??

Are they both not cherry red? trouble is with any red is that it always fades.

If its a similar mouting setup to a 205 then its very easy to get it off, you just have to hope that the years of dirt and grime havent corroded the bolts :s. I had a nasty case of broken finger last year attempting to get one off!

I think the bumper has been newly fitted and is the only part of the car that hasen't been attack with what looks like a scouring pad

Exactly same problem with mine - looks like someone used it as a dart board. In a moment of madness I painted part of it with red "Smoothrite" and the colour is almost identical (Not that I'd recommend that cos it still looks cack lol)

405 front bumpers always seem to loose the paint of them and look pants.

 

all the 405s ive had have had paint peeling of the front bumper!1

Paul do you reckon it's the shape of them or just a crap paint job by Pug?

Peugeot were never known for their high standards in painting cars. Take a look at the 504 engine bay .

 

As for front air damn removal. Just drive around to your local car park, park the front over a concrete parking block and reverse, if anything like what happened to me, at least one side should be ripped off, then repeat for the other side...

Not really what i had in mind James
