miko_supra Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Done a little write up as we have a front bumper guide but no rear one. Step 1: Remove rear lights (two screws holding this in.) Step 2: Remove these retainers under the lights (three each side) Step 3: Remove 3 center retainers on the top of the bumper Step 4: Remove 4 retainers running along the bottom edge of the bumper along with the plastic strip. (Sorry about the picture as I forgot) Step 5: Remove screws at top corners of bumper (one each side) Step 6: Remove number plate Step 7: Release the number plate lights from the bumper by undoing the three screws. Step 8: Remove the retainer above the exhaust (this needs to be pulled out and it might be worth while taking the exhaust mounts off to gain access.) Step 9: Remove lower corner nuts (one each side) Step 10: Remove boot liners on each side Step 11: Remove the two nuts that hold the bumper onto the rear quaters Now the bumper should pull away freely.

Kendo11 Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Thought it would be apt to bump up and praise this thread, very helpful and informative and saved me a lot of time over the weekend when removing mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprakeith Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 Have to say found this thread to be really helpful and easy to follow. Only took about 90minutes to remove my rear bumper today, ready to be sent to paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted June 21, 2016 Share Posted June 21, 2016 Step 5: Remove screws at top corners of bumper (one each side) http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk154/miko_clarko/101.jpg Thread resurrection for a quick question. I'm refitting my stock rear bumper this week. On the top fixings in this pic (which are at the top of the metal retainer bars), does the metal bar kind of 'hook' inside the fixing point on the car, or just sit behind it? Can't remember, isn't obvious from the pic, and my metal bars are bent. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evinX Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Should hook inside the plastic then a bolt or grommet goes through iirc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
