Ok this is to those in the know
I have had the Boc for 3 months now. When it was 4 weeks old parked up at local Sports Centre took sprog swimming. Coming out chap in an a class was parked in front of me and he was looking nervous to say the least. Pinged me hurried up jumped in his postman pat car and drove off rapidly.

Checked the front of mine and..........

Yep he had boinked the front of my Boc.
Question is.
How do you get the front bumper off? reason is the damage amounts to the panel above is slightly pushed in over the lip of the bumper. It will pop back if pushed from the iside but im stuffed as to how to get in there. Thought I could
Take out front head light drivers side NOPE
get at it from above NOPE
Get at it from below NOPE

So is there a PDF file somewhere on the tinternet where I can work out how to get to the inside or take off bumper and get at it? Looked underneath and its all slam panels and self tapping pan head screws. I am more than adept at mechanical stuff so happy to crack on and give it ago. I just dont want to take off stuff for no reason.

HELP please oh Techie meisters

i had the front bumper off my Cupra to play with the intercooler, i jacked the car up, removed the front wheels and wheelarch liners then removed the undertray. there are 4 push fixers at the top on the slam panel and a few screws scattered round, and then pop the edges off where the bumper joins the wings, the bumper drops down and you need to disconnect the front fogs. QED!
