well some smart arse decided to reverse into my parked car while he was leaving. needless to say they didn't stick around and the old lady next door saw everything but still didn't get a reg number. blind old Heifer!
o well, such is life.
any-who, the bumper has acquired a little damage mostly just scraping along one corner thats quite deep and the screw holes holding one side on has snapped. the reinforcing bar is bent to but thats a quick and easy weld so not worried about that. managed to get a new (2nd hand) bumper with the same colour paint off Ebay for £15, so I'm gonna swap em over tomorrow.
is there anything i need to know before i get started? I'm guessing it's a case of unbolt what needs unbolting and unscrew what needs unscrewing, but as I've not done this kinda thing before i thought it's best to ask the people who know.
any info would be great.

GUTTED.
Hi mate yes you need your wheels off arch linings out for the screws on the inside of wings then your grill screws and the bolts on the bumper.
If you have fog lights dont pull it too far as the wire may get damaged.
Its simple just long winded

cheers mate, got it done this morning. was easy enough. took the arches clips out like ya said and it all went smooth.
got lucky with the reinforcing bar, just needed bending back into shape. so no welding.
i'm glad Bessie is looking like her old self again.
