How to remove rear exhaust tips?

Post by pteyeo » Mon Apr 15, 2019 3:28 pm

Hi, does anyone have a link or know where to find a link to remove the rear exhaust tips? I get you have to remove the whole rear bumper. I have done a search but no hits.

Many thanks.

I didn't think the whole bumper needed removal... could be wrong as the dealer changed mine.

When I removed the bumper to change the rear diffuser it didn't look like you could take them off without removing the whole bumper. As an alternative, someone on here mentioned you could get to the exhaust tips by dropping the exhaust back boxes.
To remove the rear bumper essentially involves something like the following:
Remove the 3 screws holding the rear of the rear arch liner on each side. I think there might be a screw behind the liner that needs to be removed.
Remove the rear lights (on the car not the boot lid) by unclipping the plastic cover then removing the screws. Once the light is removed there is a plastic pin that needs to be lifted out.
There are 3 screws under the car holding the rear diffuser in place.
Depending on how far you need to move the bumper there is a plug that needs to be disconnected inside the right hand cubby hole too.
sorry for the vague instructions but it's from memory and I'm not at home to check.
