no.. but you'll need to remove the wheel splash liners to get to the nuts holding the bumper to the fenders.

Just use 2 socket extensions and it will do the trick. Just don't forget about the little plastic clips holding the bumper to the metal bumper in the front.
I went that route 2 days ago when I changed to headlights to projectors on my ST205. |

i just used a regular combo wrench and stuck my hand in and turned it til it got loose, used my fingers to loosen it all the way. easy to do just sounds intimidating. never used an extension.

How the hell do you get your hand up to the top bolts? Lol I literally squeeze my hand up there and hand tight it then fit an extension up for a couple turns. I usually put a strip of duct tape on the fender edge, because if I don't it slices my arms up. -------------------- 2006 BMW 330i - 6 Speed - Dinan Stage 1

you don't have to remove the splash liners, just bend it aside.
