Tried the searches and found nothing, i need to remove my front bumper to mess around with a few ideas. Can anyone tell me exactly where the bolts are i need to remove, how many they are and sizes (12mm nut) etc, maybe photo's

Looked in my haynes and it helpfully says "remove all bolts" one one crappy picture i cant find out where its taken.

I presume there will be one on each wing and two from the back of the bumper to the front of the car which i can see already.

Thanks

a 13mm bolt in each wheel arch and 2 13mm bolts underneath.

10mm....not 13.;)
The heads are inside the wheelarch, and at the bottom of the bumper, little brackets under the radiator area.

previous owner must have lost the M10's as the bumper was held on with allen headed / socket head bolts! oh well, sorted now.

The bolts don't cost much from Renault, when it comes to front bumpers i've always replaced with new bumper brackets and bolts as they've never had the right fixings :D

Some bumpers don't even have the lower brackets
