Anyone else have trouble putting the front bumper on?

[regal]

I installed fog lights today, the little clips/posts things are good for one use I think, I replaced what I could with bolts and ordered new ones from TRD for the rest. Is it just me or is getting the front bumper back on a real b*tch?

The clips are good for multiple uses if you take them off correctly. I never had a problem replacing the bumper by the underpanel is a b*tch!

regal dunno if this has been pointed out to you yet, and don't take this negatively please!!!


this car is an economy car not a lux sedan or a lux hatch. skimming your more recent posts it seems all you're doing is nitpicking about the suspension and the retainer clips.

just chill out and enjoy the forum and the car. :)


the clips are real easy to remove. push the middle in then use a small flat screwdriver or a fork (yes a fork) and get under it and pry up. then when you're read to reinstall push the center up and nearly out the top and hold the three prongs close together and install then push it flush...

I love the car even using the fork clip method some of these brokem no biggy, the oversteer on th other hand is a big deal which I will find a dolution to.

I have broken all but two of those plastic pieces of shit, someone had a direct replacement phillips head stub that you can put in and use a screwdriver to remove and replace. I cannot remember who it was now though.
