Bumper trims

jonesie · Mar 12th, 2016, 19:26

Can anyone tell me if the bumper trims are removable, specifically the fronts?

Im talking about the piece that surround the marker lights and wraps around the corner? I want to swap some that are colour coded.

Yes they are. They just clip into the bumper itself. I'm not sure how easy it is to remove without damaging the trim, perhaps easiest if the bumper is removed first so you can get to the clips behind. I changed one on my P1 without removing the bumper, but the old trim was damaged anyway.

I got these off in the end and re-sprayed them a few weeks ago. I will include some pics soon.

I tried removing them from the rear with the bumper off but was near impossible due to the bumpers impact bar being the in the way. So as stated above I just forced them with a screw driver from the front. The advantage being that any damage made to the pieces of trim being forced doesn't matter because they can be sprayed. Removing them without damaging the bumper can be difficult.

I re-sprayed them the same black as my car and am very proud of them, im no pro sprayer.
