It looks like the clips are broken on both sides by the markers on my front bumper, what is the best way to fix this without zip ties? is the bumper easy to take off?
I couldn't find any how-to's when I searched, let me know thanks.

If I were rich and felt like throwing a 95% condition bumper (aside from clips) then I would.

I can't even see the clips really and how they work, How would a nut/bolt replace it? it looks like i'd have to take it off first too see. can you explain a bit?

The only thing I took off was the bottom lip because all it did was scrape against stuff, I dont know what a reinforcement bar is, but it's probably still there.

man to be honest, the best and easiest way is to just zip tie it up there bro.. i know you said no zip ties but hey, they work perfect and are very cheap..
good luck

???????, seriously?
Get in your car, turn the wheel all the way to the right and turn it off.
Get a Phillips blade screwdriver and take off the front fender liner (thats the one that connects the front lip area to the front of the wheel well main harness area) their are several tabs along the lip and under neath.
Pull it back gently at the height of the sagging area, though the whole liner should come out easily once all the screws and bolts are removed.
Look on the inside of the bumper where it meets the fender near the cornerlight. Their should be a bar that is in a slight L shape supporting your bumper along its lip. This bar is held in by two plastic tabs that tend to wear and get loose or fall out completly on the bumper end.
You can replace these with others from autozone, sandwich with bolt and nuts (which can still sometimes be seen from the outside when done), ziptie etc. This should'nt be too difficult to get too with the bumper still on though I have always taken it completely off.
Welcome to owning a Zenki.
