Removing my Bumpers?

[Kathy Teulie <104372.1061@compuserve.com>]

I am not that much help but I will tell you
that just take your time and don't break the parts.
This is the over view of the task.
I have done this several times but I am sure that 
there are some details that I have left off.

Just remove the rear bumper assembly and paint it.
I would never remove the covers. The bumpers come off
as an assembly so that would save the most trouble. 
Remove the 4 bolts that hold the bumper on. The bolts are
in the trunk. The trim just slides off.

You will want to reassemble the front bumper and cover.
Well you need to disassemble the front end of your car.
First take out your Grille and headlights. Then remove the screws
that hold on the bumper trim parts. Remove all the parts then
remove the 4 bolts that hold the bumper on. The bumper is
free from the car.To paint the cover you will want to remove the 
detail stripe (strip) . Sand blast the bumper cover and clean it.
Now you can paint it. Re assemble the cover and the bumper.
If the clips are broken get a new one (IMHO it is best). If the bumper is
off the
car you can see all the clips. Re assemble the assembly.
I would put Euros on the car if you can.

>Hey there,

I want to take off my bumpers so I can paint
them and make them smaller, but I don't know 
how to. My front one, the clips are busted so
it just slides off no problem, I was looking at
the rear and don't know where the clips are...
Can someone give me some assistance?

TIA
