Front Bumper

[geswek]

I am not a body guy; I can do some pretty crazy wrench work (when I actually want to) but body was never my thing.

With that said; I need a little help. The front bumper has a lower piece that is plastic (below lower vents) and then the rubber like deal attached to that (you know the thingy that says "hey idiot, you hit the curb stop!")

I have cracked my lower piece. Can I replace that without having to pull the whole front bumper cover off? I looked and saw screws but I wasn't sure if it was something that I could go in from underneath and remove to replace. I need to get a new lower piece, curb stop thingy (tabs broke), and a new left front inner wheel well liner (that broke too).

I don't know how it broke; possible awhile back in PA when I hit this really horrendous dip in road.

Just so everyone knows, it's not hanging or anything--it just cracked in few places, tabs broken, and that bothers me.

Thanks all!

You mean the lower think black clip, right?  Part number 17A989:

And, how ya doin', Storm?

I'm thinking the piece that runs horizontal, flat plastic piece just behind part you pointed our Manu...

In either case, whether it's the lower front fascia, or the smaller under belly cover that spans 'tween the front frame rail & the front bumper cover.....

Both areas can be removed & replaced w/o the necessity of removing the entire front clip.

Hi Storm. We miss all your sexy posing pics. opcorn:

It's the lower fascia that needs to be replaced; not the underbelly cover.

Thanks everyone!

I miss you too Mike; I'm married now so not much sexy posing--too busy with husband duties and enjoying sunny Florida.

First time, took an hour to get off. Went slow though being first time. Probably do it in 30 minutes next time.
