Hello, about to remove the front bumper on my 2000 4.6, on the drivers side access to the wire clip is ok, on the passenger side there is a metal plate in the way, has anyone come across this, I can get my hand in behind the metal plate but I cannot move the wire clip or see what I am doing.

With headlights out you should be able to get to the clips undo the two torque bolts middle of bumper on the bottom roughly where number plate is. A sharp tap downwards on the bumper and it should just slide off. May need 2 people to make sure no damage to paintwork

Make sure to use the correct TORX socket on the centre bolts. I tried mine with a tight 12pt std socket but damaged the heads. Then it was a bugger of a job.
