Facelift Bumper Black Trim

[eddypeck]

Is there a knack to getting the black trim off a bumper without snapping clips?

I pulled the bit off the front but snapped a few lugs. I need to remove the rear one so thought I'd ask before I balls it up.

I think the only chance you have of not breaking the clips is to remove the bumper and push them out from the inside.

Once the bumper is removed it also helps to let it heat up in the sun. Try to remove it when its cold and the clips just break. You'll break a few whatever you do.

That's pretty much the only way to do it, unless you want to break everything...so bumper off and then loads of WD40

Sit it on top of a large radiator, turned up full, with a few blankets on top.

Bear in mind that the 3 rear inserts are seriously expensive (200 euros here) so it's worth the extra work to keep it all in tact.

Thanks guys. I'll see how I get on at the weekend
