Yaris Front Bumper

[aven_man]

My wife hit a high kerb and knocked the front bumper out of line a bit in her Yaris. It will have to be taken off to realign it, can anyone tell me how to do this ??

BTW, it's a 2001, 1 litre model.

Thanks.

The bumper is held in with a row od screws along the bottom and one either side at the top corner ( wheel arch). there is one clip in the centre I think too.... then its a case of pulling it off the clips...

good luck!

If its the same as the last one I did the holes at each end will be broken, I ended up adapting with a hot knife to rebuild the hole.... ;)

Thanks for quick reply, it looks like that hole on the drivers side is broken.

Thanks for the tip.

no props mate. good luck with it!

(on the plus side, that small repair is cheaper than a new bumper, if that hadnt of broken the bumper could of smashed!.... im convinced toyota designed a good thing there... :D )

Some git tore mine off and split the underside etc - ended up with a new one.

The actual part was only 60quid - its the spraying thats the killer
