How do the 3 parts of the bumpers come apart ?

The mounting bracket doesn't appear to unbolt ?

Cheers

Peter,

They must still be riveted from the factory, which can be a sign that your car has not had a serious prang although on the other hand, the bar could have been swaped over.

Anyway....after removing the bar, unbolt the overiders & with the face of the bar down, support it with a block of wood under the rivets, give the centre of the rivet a good hit in the centre with a centre punch to mark where you are going to drill

Then, with a good quality sharp 5/16 th ? drill bit, proceed to drill them out, making sure you are central in the rivet so as not to drill through the bar

Then just get good quality bolts & nuts to rejoin after re-chroming.
