Hello
If I use angle grinder to remove four torx bolts, does bumber come off?

I tried that, after grinding the head the rest of the bolt was stilli nto the square section of the bumper which is in the chassis bit, there isnt enough clearance to lift the rest of the bolt still in the bumper. You have to drill it. So its easier to drill it from the beginning!
