Bumper off...

really bumper off? cant get me hands in at all

it passenger side

Taking the bumper off is pretty straightforward, most annoying bit is having to jack up the front of the car and remove the wheels to get the arch liners out in order to access the fixings for the bumper.

you can take the air intake pipe off using the two torx screws either side of it! once thts off you will have enough room to get you hand in

Doubt you'd get it at the dealers, probably best looking for a mk3 clio in the scrapyards
