I may have sent you to the wrong page apologies but it is the front bumper off the crash bar off the radiator that is held in by four push-on mounts remove the plastic fan mount from the rear for access to these, hoses electrical connectors etc I found it easiest to raise up the car and drop it down through the bay. remove screws to aircon rad from main rad its not that difficult once you actually get into it.
