Just had someone clip (hard), the rear bumper. Anyone removed one? Thought it might be easier for the spray company to repair and respray off the car rather than it being still attached. I can see the plastic clips along the back and in the wheel arches but how do you get at the fixings at the top where it joins the metal rear wings? Any help would be appreciated as it was a hit and sod you type so I`m going to pay for the repair out of my own pocket...No more mods for a while.

I've had two resprays in as many months. Both times it cost me £100 labour and £90 materials.

Let the bodyshop take it off when they're ready to spray it. They will do all the prep work whilst it's on the car and remove it to spray & bake it.
