Rear bumper removal

Post by Lee_MR2 »

I have finally got round to purchasing some new rear corner panels which look like a mouse lives in them and am needing to remove the rear bumper to help the mechanic get right into them.

I have removed this once before a long time ago and vaguely remember there being two big screws underneath but i'm sure someone on here will know exactly how many screws are to come out and where.

Was also wondering what people do with the back of these panels before fitting them ie do people generally spray them with waxoyl :-k

There are two bolts under the rear of the car that go through the exhaust hangars and two nuts inside the boot. You will have to remove the boot trim behind the number plate and the two nuts should be revealed :thumleft:

Wait until they are fitted and then spray them from inside the boot with Waxoyl :thumleft:
