So, a topic of my Orlando. It's a 2011 1.8. I bought it when it was 1y old, because we were expecting our third child and our Chevrolet Kalos would become too small.

Since then I'm driving around without any big problems.
A few months ago I changed my rear bumper after a little accident with a concrete flower pot. I went to get a second hand bumper in Aachen, and I found out that the black and grey part were separable. As the color differed a little bit, I only switched the lower part.

I had a little fear before I started, because I couldn't find a good plan of where the bumper was attached. But then I found a tutorial of switching bumpers on a Chevrolet Cruze, and I found out that the Orlando was quite similar. Although I must say that the black wheel arches (you see in the second picture), are a bit fragile.

Oh yeah, and last month I suddenly had this problem:

The key remote case decide to deconstruct. i ordered a new case, but it's still somewhere on the boat towards me, so an update will follow.

Aaah, these low flying flower pots.
How long did it take you to change the bumpers?

I think I did in about two hours. A friend helped me, and we had to look up the releasing of the wheel arches before we tried it.
