Does anyone have a step-by-step picture guide? I don't want to go at it like a bull in a china shop and end up stumped half way through.
I have a 2001 V6 ES 3 Dr model.Would that be more difficult as the bumper is different to the 1.8 .Does this make a difference to the upgrade or will any of the upgrade bumpers fit? Also, are clips, screws etc in the same place or what? I'm new to this forum so would appreciate any help at all.
Thanks......
