hopefully it all goes well, the rivets in the door handles were fairly easy so this should be good!

I would really appreciate that. I got the car Saturday, bumper tonight and I'll be damned if I can get those clips off.
I can pay cash/beer. Send me a MSG if you're serious about helping. |

The black clips on the wheel arch are those stupid plastic type I'm guessing that push in some pliers and swearing will get them out

Got it off and new one on.
I used a 13mm socket to remove the nuts from the bar. 14mm kept slipping. |
