HI. Todays silly question. How do the front bumper brackets come off ? I can see two 13mm nuts in the wheel arch, but the stud turns, and I cant see where the bolt head can be. Any pointers please ?

If it turns, cut down the screws head.

Re: front bumper brackets
They are coach bolts with a square under the saucer head (which is inside the box section).
Once loose, the bracket moves forward in the keyhole & then they come out. I found belting the nut towards the front of the car moved it enough.
Some galvanized roofing bolts from B&Q were good replacements.
