    Can someone tell me how difficult it is to change the front bumper on a 365 GTC/4? Looks straight forward but it is an expensive change and I wanted any advice before I proceed.

    It's a real pain. There are several studs that can only be reached by disconnecting the hood struts and opening the hood 90 degrees to the body, allowing a little more room to get your arm through the opening to reach the top studs. Or you could remove the hood, which I don't recommend unless you are VERY careful installing it. It's easy to mess up the front lip of the hood if you are not skilled in taking it off and putting it back on.
    The remaining studs are not too bad to reach.
    I took mine off my previous C/4 and would not do it again unless absolutely necessary.

    Why do you want to remove it?

    Thanks Zanny1 for the information. The bumper on my car is cracked and I thought I'd tackle this if it was straight forward. With your comments, I think I'm going to leave it until the fall when I have my Ferrari shop reseal my engine and spruce up the engine compartment. I'm sure then can do it without issue.
