Don't have an issue with my sensors but I am in the same boat as you. I have bought a set of LED fog lights to replace my halogens as they look awful when switched on with my Xenons working.

I have no option but to remove the bumper. My research so far is there are 10 8mm screws to be removed from under the bumper and on top, 6 T30 Torx screws from under the rubber strip seal between the bonnet seal and kidney grilles.

The problem is.... I have the motorsport version that has wheel flares that has at least 4 plastic rivets on each side that secure the wheel arch to the bumper. I am at a loss on how to remove these rivets without destroying them as I would like to re use them as they are colour coded to the car paint. My nearest dealer is also 400kms away from where I live.

I would welcome any advice on how to remove these rivets so I can re use them or is just not an option?
