Bumper is easy ..
Ask John

Is it just a case of unbolting?

Could you do £20 posted? I've a few that I'm going to bid on and there's a buy it now for £20 on fleabay but id rather give the money to you instead.

Not sure how much the postage will be, let me get them off tonight make sure they are in the right condition and I will bring them into work with me in the morning and price up the postage. Sounds doable if the postage is around £5 I think £15 is a fair price I should be able to find a box. Let me get back to you with an answer in the morning. Where abouts are you?

So jobs for tonight i will be attempting to remove both bumpers and all the lights taking some nice pictures and posting up here for you lovely people tonight.
I think it's the postage thing that makes breaking a bit painful very hard to guess a price on it, but I will try my best!!

Yes, just be carefull not to drop the rear lights as well !!
The front bumper came off mine in minutes, I must admit half of it was missing underneath !!

Re the postage, ebay do a calculator thing, but I am happy to pay whatever the post office charge you, just do it recorded delivery, makes it easier all round, and yes I will have all 4 spheres

Thanks for that just looked up a couple of how to guides on the bumpers and they look pretty straight forward so I will have a go at them tonight.
Not sure how long you will need. To wait for the spheres if I manage to get them off I imagine it will be towards the end of the work.
Anyway hopefully tonight goes well to give an idea of the under taking I have the car in a rented council garage round the corner from me with no electric so lighting is via battery powered LEDs and a inspection lamp, it's also chuffing cold!!!

Hehe! Good luck with that!!! Hope it goes well and you end up with enough cash to help towards a better F...

Tony there are plenty of Gurus on here that will help you if you get stuck, and the how too's are very informative, just ask

A at least you don't have to follow the "fitment is the reverse of removal" instructions!!!

Yes already found it very helpful on here hence wanting to offer all the first bits, was also thinking of doing a similar thread on the Lotus forum I'm a member on as many parts fit the Elise as well.
Should hopefully get me some way towards another need to sell the Mazda as well to get a nice one.

Yes taking things off is always nicer than putting them back!
