Front bumper removal

[whodafunk]

Good afternoon everyone, I'm new on here and after some advice.

Is there a How to Guide for removing the front bumper? I have a 2012 DS3 (1.6 HDI)

After a small bump to my front bumper the horn is no longer working and I want to inspect/repair it.

Many thanks

Welcome to the club. Mark.a-ds3 has taken the bumper off to fit the new style headlights to his car, and I'm sure he will be along later with some advice.

Cheers, much appreciated.

I've seen a picture of the horn location and its right where the bumper was hit (between the o/s foglight and the plastic grill). I'm hoping it's just a wire that's come out but assuming it could be broken what's the part number for the horn anyone?

You don't need to take the front bumper off to get to the horn just need to take out. Drivers side wheel arch liner out
bumper removal is quite straight forward. 2nbolts Central bottom of bumper and 4plastic grommets 4plastic rivets central top. Then where. Wing meets bumper on inside there are 2 bolts in each side the lower one comes out really easy the top bolt on each side there is no room to get a socket in so you have to ring spanner but it took me about an hour on each side just no room to undo couple of a mm turn each time

Just had the bumper off today, was really straightforward. Thanks for the advice

I needed to take it off to try and repair a crack aswell as fix the horn so thought it easier just to remove the bumper. I think I need a new bumper really as the crack isn't repairable. anyone know where I can get a front bumper in black in good condition?

Hi my ds3 has a broken aircon rad and I’m in the process of changing it if you like I can upload some pictures to show the front bumper removal if interested it’s pretty easy apart from the nuts inside the wheel arch there are two the nearest one is very easy however the back one is a pig to do but you can manipulate the bumper slightly and remove the day running light you can use a ratchet with a small extension on you can get to it just !!! Then get a friend to help pop it off be warned it’s a lot heavier than you’d think and top heavy
