how do i take the front & rear bumpers off
 
as the title how do i take the front & rear bumpers off???

i cant make out from the manual the US one!

where the fixings are? where are they?

i could do with taking them off to remove all my air-con parts & fit my intercooler i just cant see where its fixed

the bolts for the rear bumper are in the boot, with smaller 1's at the side inside the wings, the front main bolts are by the box section with the same smaller 1's by the wings, ill take some pics tmrw cos its not v easy describing it

i'd really appreciated any pics, i'm working on the silvia until 5pm 2moro so will have a look too but i'm not taking them off at the moment, but give it a few months & i'd like to remove my front bumpers & wings to clean & paint behind them

the bracket under the bumper on mine is rusted out but i can make a new one!

& i may paint the bumpers when they're off! i'll have to see how the time is :/

but i want to at least go around th bolts & loosen them up in the mean-time!

really appreciated

the main bolts are reachable under these bungs under the carpet in the boot (2 for each side)

front side nuts are same place as the back and reachable by taking out the arch liner and reaching behind the wing
