hi guys just ordered a new pair of these brackets to go behind the side of the front bumper as mine have rusted, I notice they have a clip at the top to hold them to the front bumper between the mounting bolts.

but can these be replaced without completely removing the front bumper? I'm not too worried about the top clip at the moment, as I can't seem to find any reference to a part number for it. plus I know one of the wing studs that hold the front bumber on is just turning in the wing.

yes I've got those clips ordered as one of mine is missing, but the clip I mentioned is along the top edge where the bumper bolts to the wing, after watching a you tube video it looked like there is a clip holding the bracket to the bumper

It's a small plastic expanding clip that holds the bracket in place whilst offering up the bumper to the studs.

cheers Andrew, I guess I can replace the retainer brackets without removing the bumper? no to bothered about the clip at the moment. 

It should be possible. Make sure the "studs" of the plastic clips don't get pinched between the new brackets and the bumper.

cheers Andrew, I guess it'll most likely be brittle after 30yrs and will just snap.
