Rear bumper currently in paint shop - Paint is hardening as I type this.
Relatively minor damage caused due to me having a slow speed reversing altercation with a tree stump out of view.
I am sure now some would leave as is but I couldnt leave it any longer.
Rear bumper only held in with two long T55 bolts above exhaust tips (awkward to access but with a narrow screwdriver and manipulation of the tips to move the rear boxes a littlr they were removed without dropping exhaust) Then just 4 screw bolts ( 2 furthermost in each rear arch).The just a case of unplugging PDC plug to harness in rear offside cubby and unclipping loom from rear bumper mounts.
I suggest anyone eanting to remove the T55 bolts on a V8 might want t
Couldn't help myself today and ended up cleaning/painting area exposed by bumper removal.
Will hopefully be going back on tomorrow.
