Front bumper removal

[gstroe]

Hi guys, want to replace the Maserati emblem on the front bumper, I understand I have to remove the bumper to do that. Is there a write-up somewhere on how to do it? thank you,

George you dont need to remove the bumper. I took my bumper off and its a pig of a job.

To remove the emblem take the front grill out and slide you hand up behind. There is a nut on the back of the emblem but it will probably be corrided and rip the stud out.

Normal proceedure is to attack it from above. Heavily mask up around the emblem then dig off the metal face of the emblem, then basically destroy the plasic emblem base with a screwdriver being careful not to slip and slide the tool across your paintwork.

Clean all the glue off and stick the new one on and fit the nut.
