Is it newer or older model. Difference is newer has side indicator mounted to side of the bumper. In older they are mounted to side wing.

But here goes for the newer. There is two plastic inserts middle of the bumper below front head lights take them out. they are held in place with plastic thingys. If you can't get them out with your hands take a small flat blade screwdriver and carefully push it in the cap between that plastic thing and bumper skin. Once you have done that there is two 13mm bolts either side. But before that you have to take head light wipers off. Nut holding wiper is under cap which just pops open when pulled up and towards the wiper blade end. Also those side indicators clips off. When everything is unbolted just pull out the bumper.

Hope that isn't explained too compicatedly

IIRC, the plastic lugs on the radiator grille are pretty delicate, they can be prone to snap off ...

Damn i forgot the grille. Someone tell him how it is held in its place. Because in mine it's held by a screw and couple of cable ties. And i don't remember how it's originally held in place.

Rad grill bottom lugs are held in to the light clusters, so you don't need to touch them for a bumper on a mk3
