Help! Front bumper Removal

[Smokey]

Hi guys, basically i was taking my car down a small track that leads to my mates house when i hit a nasty pothole that must have been a good foot deep. front of my car just dropped down clobbering my front bumper which has now bent down a bit and has splayed out by each wheel arch causing my front arches to pop out!:panic: the only thing i can think of doing is getting the front bumper off, rebending whatever it mounts to and then reattaching it making sure everything connects properly, but i don't even know how to take my front bumper off!! can anyone give me a few pointers or let me know of anything else i may have to do?? cheers guys

It's actually only a few bolts I believe, Will scan on my Saxo modding guide later that shows you how :)

Right get the car jacked up on axle stands. theres a torx bit either side in the arch mate. get that off and pull arch liners back, makes life so much easier! Then there is a bolt attaching the bumper on there, 10mm spanner wil do it as you cant get rachet in due to the water pump. Big torx screw underneath car. then when your under the car you should see a bolt with white plastic around the edge on either side (near where the number plate is on the outside) take them off and the bumper should come off!

the brackets are plastic mate and you cant buy them from citroen only a new bumper so take it steady. could could heat them up and then bend them

have a look at this guide and this show help you take it off = CLICK ME FOR GUIDE (http://www.saxperience.com/mods/show-article.php?artid=30)

cheers lads, that gives me a much better idea of what to do. what do you think it is that has been bent because my bumper sits about an inch from the bottom of the grill?
