After you undo the 2 nuts at the top is it just a matter of using a bit of force to push out all the wee clips holding it along the bottom??

thanks

remove the 2 8mm's that hold the grill on then the 28mm's that hold the top of the bumper to the landing panel, you can then pull out one side at a time and pop it off, take the 2 8mm's of the tiop of the bumper and theres plenty of flex to get the grill out

Just undo the 2 nuts at the top holding the grill in and push on it.

You'd have to be REALLY rough with it to break anything

I couldn't push mine out with my hands, so I kicked it out. Broke a few clips on the V-grill, but was going in the bin.

I managed to get it out without breaking anything, you shouldn't need to take the bumper off. Just push it and out it comes Don't push it from the top or anything because that's how you'll break it, do it from quite near the bottom.

Well you do want to be careful. You should also take your boot off when changing your numberplate over or de-badging.

Does that include taking the front wing/bumper off when changing a light bulb?

If my memory serves me correctly I'm pretty sure the Corsa Haynes actually tells you to remove the front bumper. Maybe they're not allowed to tell you to 'niggle' it in until it slots in

Not for the grill but it does for the headlights to come out!
