Front bumper removal

[rydan79]

Hi, i need to remove the front bumper form the wife's k11 micra(01 plate). I read somewhere on here that you have to remove the headlights,is this true?,how many bolts/screws do i need to remove to get the bumper off?.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

NO! You don't!

You can access the mounting bolts if you reach round the washer bottle.

you can take the support pods off with the bumper (2 x 12mm nuts, 1 x 12mm bolt in each) but the nuts on the o/s one are mf awkward to access tho

Glad these are of use - I took them - I'd meant to do a proper writeup of the process - but stuff got in the way.

It wasn't basically hard, just annoying.
