you get use to removing the bumper.
since the very first day i had the car ive been ripping it off and putting it back on.
I take off the front bumper, rear bumper, boot lid and bevel panel in about 40 minutes including lights.

just goes to show differences in build quality..........the new 300C Chrysler has exactly 6 small nut & bolts holding that bloody great nosecone on
.........i've had a close look underneath those things & would NOT recommend anyone buy one for a family car..............very poorly built IMHO

My NB8B needs a respray for the nosecone (and bonnet), and I was thinking of removing it myself to ensure a good job.
How hard is it going to be, and can anyone share some pointers, pls?

Not that hard, I've done it. A bit awkward though, much easier with 2 people.

you'll be fine doing it yourself..
just don't loose the screws... I had a magnet to hold them altogether in one place...

Wow, really? I took my front bar off when fitting my intercooler - it couldn't have taken more than 20mins to do. The bolts are sometimes difficult to locate though!
