maybe but I doubt it as you'll still have to get the lumpy bits past all the metalwork.

I seem to recall that when I removed my washer bottle, I had to remove the LD tray as well due to the lumpy bits Kirsty mentioned. I'm not sure removing the headlight will give you enough clearance. You can just see the bottle behind the front panel (& no, before you ask: you don't need to remove the whole front of the Bongo to get to it :) )
