Tools required
Flat screw driver
Philips screw driver
10mm socket & ratchet
microfibre cloth


First thing is to take the clip and screw out from underneath the joint of the wheel arch & lower part of the bumper. Pull them apart both sides.

Unscrew the inner wheel arch both sides

Take out the clips from the underside of the bumper and save all clips.Now start to remove the wheel arch trim by squeezing the clips from behind & pushing them through, puthe microfibre behind it as you go. there is 1 large clip witch is very tight . I squeezed it then hit with pliers to get it out. unscrew the philips screw holding them toether out.

Remove the caps covering the 4 bolts holding the bumper on . now gently start to shake the bumper loose , if you have parking sensors you will need todisconnect before the bumper will come right off. Plaace bumper on to a sheet to stop it getting scratched.
Unbolt the exhaust trims and save the bolts Unscrew the reflectors & save. Now the 3 clips holding the bumper together are removed & saved.
The bumper will now unclip from both sides. Now clip the new part in from the centre out the way. now repeat the process in reverse to finish.

Just fitted my grand prix kit on my CW, used this guide and found it very usefull, took about 1hr 30mins..... i did take the rear wheels off for easier access to the arches, screws and the clips.

Not taking anything away from the OP's guide but the splitters include instructions.

If you buy them second hand, you might not have the instructions so here they are for future reference.
