Removing the Front Bumper MK6

[magicdragon]

Don't know if I’m just blind or being really stupid, but I have had a look to see how to remove the front bumper, and I would seem so simple... I know that I have 4 screws in the arches and 4 blots at the front, and I know their location, but with the air conditioning unit it’s really hard to get at them. Is it best to work from the top? or the bottom? Should I try to remove the lights? Remove the black plastic trim from behind the top grill? Or the one under the front of the car??

 

I have a Haynes manual but it doesn't really tell you how it should be done when you have air con?

 

Any views, advise, or help would greatly appreciated!!!

 

I have got to change that lower grill!!!! Done all the others...

 

HELP ME!!! Or am I beyond help??

i havent got ac but i undone mine from under the car, on your mk6 you wont get the headlights out without taking the bumper off
