how easy is it to remove and replace bumper

[Industrial2008]

hello, i ve got a 2008 leon sport, i ve had a minor collision,. It was cheaper to get a new bumper rather than a respray. Also got a new N/S headlight to replace. But i'm sure this has been asked many times before but couldn't find any threads. how easy is it to remove the bumper and reattach fogs and grill and other bits? Is ghere any steps or photos to help?

Its fairly straight forward. I think here are 28 screws in total. The fogs have a plastic connect clip. There are screws up under the arches too that can be best accessed with the steering to full lock.

SPACE COYOTE has an excellent post called "leon mk2 front bumper removal guide " , has an exploded drawing showing all star screws .

sorry to change the subject slightly, but has anyone done the rear?

 

[GLYN SOLEY]

The guide for the rear is on the same post i believe .

There is some links to files which show the removal diagrams.

The Forge motor sport details the removal and refit in its twin charge air cooler conversion too. ....................[it is a two person job - if you want a quick fit!] - when I hit a deer the frame that supports the head light assy was also broken, but I fixed that with 2 part epoxy otherwise it is a major task removing & fitting this support that goes right across the two head lights/ radiators etc.
