[W124] Removing rear bumper

[Frank Smyth]

Cheers Paul ! Very happy with the car.
 
The bumper is a one-piece (well, apart from the black bit which appears to snap in but is only accessible if the whole bumper is off the car), so it's looking like it has the standard bolts then, plus the two self-tappers in each wheel-arch. Thanks for the reply

Frank,

If you were talking about a standard bumper, the 4 bolts would be all.

I'm sure there's more involved in fixing the AMG kit, so unless anyone else
with the same kit replies, try to find the fixings for the kit first
(probably self-tappers), then undo the heavy ones last.....

Looks very nice with the AMG kit in that colour........

Hey folks

Is there much involved in removing the rear bumper on a W124 coupe ?  Mine
looks like it's screwed in within the wheelarches, and then bolted in the
rear floor area. Anything else ? Would hate to go at it and not know about a
hidden slide or screw and crack the thing ;-)

Mine has the AMG bodykit as well, which maybe complicates things

Plan is to drill some holes in the black-plastic section for a
reversing-sensor kit

Cheers
