    Does anyone have instructions on how to remove/replace a US front bumper on the 308?

    A step by step break down would be great.

    Grazie

    1) remove the grill below the bumper
    2) unplug the wire harness for the front park/signal light
    3) undo the four nuts that support the bumper to bumper shock
    4) pull the bumper straight out

    5) Set up an appointment with an orthopedic to fix your now knackered back. Those effing things are heavy...

    Regarding #4, having a helper is a big plus! Both of you should pull the bumper out at the same time. BTW are you replacing the bumper?

    Thanks guys, sounds good.

    I keep my Ferrari in DC as I am in NYC, so I don't get a chance to look at in detail when questions like this
    come up. Yes, I am replacing it with an newer original US bumper in mint condition.
