Hey everybody,

My front passenger side bumper appears to be missing two clips. I've circled the area in question on the picture below (from the service manual). I found the awesome DIY video in the 3G garage for removing the front bumper, but before I do it, I need some help identifying which replacement clips/screws/bolts I need to order.

Can I get a second opinion?

ooph, it's been a while, so i'm not quite sure, but from what i can remember, the only two clips in that area are the 2 (in that specific area) that attach to the support brace for each headlight. if you're speaking of the little clips on the BUMPER itself, there aren't any. they hook ONTO the brace under the headlight. by the way, if you're planning on removing your headlights, you'll need a good length extension. there's 6 or 8 some odd bolts that hold the actual headlight in, and a 4 (I think) that hold the braces in on each side. there also two (included in the count) that are UNDERNEATH each headlight unit. so when taking them out, you'll have to be parallel with the ground (your body) when doing so.

Actually, now that I think about it, I'm quite positive that there are NOT any clips that go there. Just the hooks; if the bumper hasn't been taken off before, ever, those hooks will be on the brace REALLY tightly. Be careful when you're tugging...you'll feel like you'll break something, and you CAN if you're not careful enough. if you can see it with your eyes, get a small flat head and give the hooks some pushing.

There is ONE bolt by the way (Bolt B) that connects the fender + the bumper good luck!

Awesome. You def. helped me understand what I'm looking at now. For some reason, that diagram wasn't exactly making sense before. Thanks dude.
