Hi Guys,

Does anyone know how the rear bumprettes are removed off the bumper cover (the pieces on either side of the license plate). I believe they snap in since the right one has a tow hook behind it?

any help is appreciated

Sam:

There is an Allen-head bolt that you can access from under each bumperette, through the small cut-out that you will see there.

Once you loosen that bolt, you can just pivot the bumperette up and off.

Take a look at post #4 in this thread for photos of the inside of the bumperettes, as that should help orient you: http://www.renntech....__1#entry184376

Regards, Maurice.

Edit: Sorry, I should have prefaced this with "If bumperettes on the 997-1 is the same as on the 986..."

On US/Canada 997-1 cars the bumperettes are held on by tabs and pins that you can only get to from the back side of the bumper.

Thanks Loren,

So I will need the bumper off to remove them?

I have a few scratches on one, was wondering if I could just take it off to drop off to a body shop but I guess it will be easier to get repaired on the car than off it.

+ great job on the update of the site Loren, have been absent for a while but love the work.
