Remove and fit rear bumper......
« on: June 20, 2014, 07:21:25 pm »
I have removed to lower skirt of the rear bumper........easy

Any tips to refitting lol ??

When you try and push the bumper back on the top half flexes in, do I need to remove the whole top part to get it back on lol

If you're on your own take the upper section off as well, it's easier to reassemble the two parts on the floor where they can't flex and can be clipped together against a firm surface

If you have someone to help hold the upper section rigid on the car whilst you try and clip the lower half in it is feasible but still a complete bast$rd.

Hope this helps  :happy2:

Put a screw in the top half (behind number plate, you may already have one or two holes there), pull the top out as you push in the lower half to offer some resistance
Used to have Edition 30 - number 009 and a GT TDI 140.
Now have an S4 B8 Avant (stage 2)
