Now that I've got an MOT for another year I've thought about respraying the front bumper which has seen better days with the paint flaking off and looking a bit rough.
To make my life handy, are there any online guides for its removal or an exploded diagram showing what all requires removal? I assume the front wheels and arch liners require removal?
Has anyone resprayed with the bumper still in position?

Re: Xsara MkII Front Bumper Removal
Let me have an email address and I'll send you a PDF of the Citroen workshop manuals.
Alternatively, I have uploaded them on the Citroen. Xsara owners group Facebook page. I'd attach them here but I can't add a pdf file

Re: Xsara MkII Front Bumper Removal
My daughter used to have a Xsara and I've had the front bumper off a couple of times - so it can't be too difficult. Because of its size, it's much easier if you have a partner standing by.
According to the properties, this pic was taken in 2009.

Re: Xsara MkII Front Bumper Removal
The front bumper has to come off, then the cross beam shown in the picture needs to be removed. Two bolts each side. The bottom bolts holding the headlights in place are behind the cross beam.

Re: Xsara MkII Front Bumper Removal
I found that parking up against an earth bank quite easily removed the lower part of our Xsara II.
As I get older I think a lot about the hereafter - I go into a room and then wonder what I'm here after.
