Rear bumper removal?

Yea drive it up on some timbers. You dont really need to get underneath, but its easier to actually see the 3 bolts.

Soft suspension will make it sit low as its quite a heavy car, and the wheels are likely to only be 14's or something? making the arch gap bigger.

My arch gap is still pretty big as I have pretty much no tyres If i lowered the coilovers right down on the front the car would be sat on the floor

Cheers len, are the 2 side bots where the side clips are on the side of the car? Or are they still on the rear of the car?

How does it take 30mins to jack up a car? LOL! Doesn't take that long for me, widow maker gets her up a tiny bit until there's enough room for the trolly jack and hey presto.

I'd be interested in taking off my rear bumper and seeing if there's any damage as I am sure it's been knocked or something

When i got the front up i had to use wood, a low level scissor jack and a normal jack and that lifted the back up aswell

I recon my drive will be fine to do the bumper as its not totally level and will allow one side of the rear bumper to be higher and enough for me to look underneath


May as well take it off one day mate, sounds really easy tbh!

Trust me the rear bumper is easy to remove.

Thanks bud How long would you say it will take to take the one above off and fit the new one? An hour or more or less?


Sorry, I don't want to start it if its going to get dark while i'm doing it! :embarassed:

There are just the 4 top bolts and 3 underneath. The sides are just clips that come off their runners (like) as you pull the bumper rearwards.
The difficult bit is refitting, making sure you get both sides back on those side clips, to and bottom.
