My wife was involved in an accident and our car was totaled.  It doesn't look like much damage, but the estimated repair was around $4k (mostly labor). I bought the car back from the insurance company since it was really cheap. I need to replace the front bumper cover - anyone have any instructions on how to remove it? I searched the archives but didn't find any specific instructions. Thanks! ![]() www.ncc-columbus.org/images/IMAG0759.jpg [/img] |

Glad that you bought her back. The front bumper is bolted up to the fenders, you need to pull the plastic inner fenders off first in order to reach them. You might want to pull your front wheels off aswell for more clearence. Good luck.

Awesome - that's exactly what I need! I have to replace one headlight assembly too. That's hard to believe it's just bolted to the fenders!  I'm not going to worry about the damaged fender at the moment. You can see the imprint from the wheel of the other car. It had to be towed away.    |

Looks like your going to have to bang that quarter panel back out to get the bolt holes to line back up and so the headlight can sit flush like its supposed to.

The core support has shifted. The body lines are way off, it needs to be put on a frame pulling machine to be pulled straight again
