: You can remove the whole carrier on which the bumper fits by unbolting it from under the front wheel arches. Will recommned getting a Haynes manual before attempting anything>

: : I like the look of the spoiler for the coupe, so
: : I ordered a 323ci spoiler for my sedan and had it all painted. Yesterday I started attempting to do the swap and thought it shouldn't be difficult.
: : Boy was I wrong. Had I known how difficult it would be I wouldn't have attempted it.
: : The problem is now I started disassembling the stock spoiler and cannot get it removed. Because of this, I can't even drive the car either. I need help, guys/gals.

: : Here's my problem. The spoiler/bumper wraps around the alloy bumper behind it. It was pinned to the bumper with the plastic rivets that contains a jam pin. I removed all these rivets, but there are 3 behind the spoiler right at the middle that I can't get to. I tried everyway possible. I even removed the bottom cover hoping to get to these rivets, but still cannot reach it because the radiator/air conditioning/pans are in the way.

: : Appreciate any suggestions because I can't drive my car with the bumper partially dismantled and the bottom cover dropped.

: : Henry

Still cannot get to these anchor rivets. the problem is these rivets are behind the bumper and pinned to the back of the spoiler right at the middle. Consequently removing the wheel and covers still cannot reach it because at the middle are all the air conditioner and radiator. I hate to have to remove those to gain access.
