Craig782 Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Pictured is the only thing spoiling my new baby right now Im sure its a very simple changover But anything i need to do / be aware of when changing over the reflector on the front bumper. She finally arrived last night and the only thing that i could fault (and im super fussy) is the N/S reflector so should have a new one arriving at nissan in the morning! Havent even looked at the bumper yet so just after a heads up is it a simple change over? or does loads need to come off to get to it? Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 its tight but you can get your hand in behind the wheel arch liner with the wheel at full lock, found it easier to take the wheel off and then the get in so you can see what your doing... They are held with 2 screws... Quote
Chris`I Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Are you getting the new one off warrenty? Sorry dont know how you bought the car, but if its from Nissan, get them to change it! Really its a half bumper off job. If you have head light washers, then there is a bottle there that gets in the way from the wheel arch. I had to take half the bumper clips off to do mine. Quote
T8 JPE Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 its an absolute pig. i suggest taking the whole bumper off espcially if uv got head light washers. otherwise be prepared to lose ur knuckles Quote
drewbie Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 PAY SOMEONE TO DO IT. TRUST ME. It's a pig of a job unless you're going to strip the bumper off, and that's not too easy unless you already know eher all the clips and stuff are. Makes it an expensive change of plastic though. Quote

H4rry Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 I did mine last week... swapped for a clear set. Just take the bumper off, its a straight forward job if you can use a screwdriver and a ratchet. Quote

I tried to do it on the first side and it took me about 4 hours on one side without removing the bumper. So i took the bumper off for the otherside and i was all done in an hour! Quote
H5 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Exactly. I figured that if you're taking the bumper off, why put a standard one back on!! Quote
