Mr2kyle Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 I would like to say now that I'm sorry if this has already been done (thread wise) but I can't find anything on it and the threads with the title of bumper removal have all there photos stolen by photobox so please help. I have a trial rear bumper Mildred into the rear end and I'm currently in the middle of going standard. Where are all the bolts I have to remove and if anyone has any words of wisdom as to how I remove a molded bodykit please fire away! I've been using a wire brush wheel on a drill for the fibre glass bits and it seems to be working ok Sorry again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted January 1, 2018 Share Posted January 1, 2018 How to remove rear bumper 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.

Mr2kyle Posted January 1, 2018 Author Share Posted January 1, 2018 Top fella! Thanks I'll have that bumper off tomorrow all going well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kendo11 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 How did you get on? Bear in mind the Trial bumper should have some extra fixings underneath (if it's got the longer diffuser part). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr2kyle Posted January 5, 2018 Author Share Posted January 5, 2018 Eh it went well.....well apart from the fact the bumper was mastic'd on and only had the six screws under the lights holding it on....and it never quite made it off in one piece much like the rest of the bodykit I've removed....so yea a lot of progress was made...thanks again folks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
