Hi all,

What a way to start, a question on my first post! Does anyone have any diagrams or knowledge on how I can remove the rear bumper on my 986 early '02 (so prefacelift bumper)?

Any help would be gratefully received,

1) raise your spoiler the push out the pins in the center (you most likely will need to buy new ones as they usually are not re usable) remove the wing and leave it up. From the top remove the screws that are along the rim of the bumper

2) Remove bumperettes there are allen bolts at the bottom of each bumperettes, remove license plate, plate holder and license plate lights

3) remove the screws at the bottom of the bumper and in the rear wheel wells (2 on each wheel well)

the bumper should pull out be carefull you need to unplug the light receptacle. Sorry no diagram I'm just going off memory so I forgive me if I forget anything!
