Default Can someone tell me the correct procedure to remove the whole front bumper ?

I'm interested in pulling the front of my 2002 XJR off to get a better look at where/how to mount a few things; killer chiller, modify windshield fluid bottle to make room up top for a different intake filter, auto paintball gun, rocket launchers, (the usual upgrades) and maybe see if air flows to the radiators can be improved.

If anyone knows the order of what needs to be removed, that could save lots of time and a little aggravation.

Hello!
The front bumper is just attached with two, think it's 17 or 19mm, lay down in front of car and look up, you will see two holes from underneath, one on each side. Good luck.

undo the two bolts either side of he no plate plinth as described above, and slide it away from the car, it's got runner brackets either side. Unclip the indicator/fog looms and it's free.
