Upon inital upset I found a new replacment bumper for my ASTRA MK4 on ebay in my exact colour ( Matt Black ) for \u00a330 ( \u00a345 Inc Delivery ). This wasn’t too bad I thought as my other bumper did have some wear and tear! After I recieved the bumper my next task was to swap the bumpers .. easier said then done.

Once these are out you can gently pull away at the side and the front and the bumper should come right off!\r\n\r\n
