Hey,

Anyone taken the front bumper off a Lanos?

If so let me know where the screws etc are!

Thanks

just feel around for it. start from the middle and work your way out evenly on both sides. i know there are a few at the bottom of the bumper and i think one inside the splash guard of the wheel well right behind the tires. its not too difficult. if you have the car jacked up and a power tool it wouldn't take long to take off. and even if you took off the wrong screw or bolt its not hard to put it back on. oh and i believe the socket size you'll need will be 7mm.

i tried to remove mine and almost succeeded... it got 5 plastic screw on the top, 3of them accessable from under the hood and the other 2 require headlights removal.

4 plastic screws at the bottom, reachable at the bottom grill area.... the one near the A/C compressor is a real bitch to remove due to lack of space to put your hand.

you gotta remove the 4 wheel well guard screws (7mm) at the bumper area and an extra plastic panel at the resonator... sum is about 7 screws

two 10 mm bolts at both sides then a screw at the very inside of the bmper at each side... after that its a drag and drop job.

sorry got no pics and have no time to put it in a neat "how to" style post.

I got mine off by just searching where the bolts/screws were.... The headlight removal ones were a pain to get out because of my left headlight being so hard to remove... but after you remove them all the others should be in more of plain sight...

actually the process started in the attempt of fixin what an asshole did to the bumper when he hit my car... it was a minor damage but the bumper's right side came off its place and some plastic mounts were broken.

i was just tryin to make some space on the riht side to do some repars and get it back in place so the left side was left intact.
