WHOOOOPS!
« on: June 14, 2012, 09:24:15 pm »
Not happy at all as Ive caught the kerb whilst parking the other day  :stupid: Its cracked the lower splitter and added to the already impressive array of stone chips. So as Ive got a couple of weeks off work next month was hoping to get this sorted. I have searched on here of ways in which to remove the splitter and there does not seem to be one? do I have to remove the full bumper? Should I borrow some ramps? Can anyone shed some light please?  :happy2:

there are about 10 screws under the splitter.
Remove these, then starting at the side pull the splitter towards you and it should unclip safely with no damage.
Mine worked fine anyway doing it that way

As Al says, undo the screws undeneath. This can be done without ramps. Then start at one side and work your way to the middle. The only bit you will struggle with is the clip just inside the arch. It's abit of a pig. I found using trim removal tools helped get it off plus prevented unnecessary scratching.
