Hello! I need to replace my front cover that was torn off from an accident as well as both front inner wheel liners.

I have a new bumper and cover and need to order the wheel well liners as those corners attached were torn from the old bumper. But i was wondering if there are any diagrams to do this? What kind of clips or bolts are used and where to order them?

My dad is going to help me but the more i can have ready the better!

Thanks for any help!

Try these. They show the bumper, isolator and the cover pieces. You will need to make sure that the underlying structure is straight before you try repairing it, There is a lot of thin metal involved in the tabs and mounts and it bends easy.
For the bolts and such, the dealer is the fastest place to get them. But you may want to check the vehicle, the ones that actually attach to metal may still be there.

Got access to a better Ford system for this.

1 W706805 Splash shield screw (8 required)
2 W712196 Splash shield pin-type retainer (10 required)
3 16054 RH / 16055 LH Splash shield
4 W505421 Fender bolt (7 required)
5 W709603 Fender rear stud nut
6 16015 RH/ 16016 LH Fender

Personally if it is just that bit of tab that is gone I'd bend up a couple out of sheet metal to use, cheaper, faster and likely much stronger.

However if you wish to replace them. Ford assigns new part numbers for each revision. They can give you the current part number if you give them the one the book lists. 16054 RH / 16055 LH

That is part of the headlamp assembly and it supports the cover. I would find a different light assembly as changing it later means pulling the bumper cover again.
