Hi All,

i made a very small dent on the stainless steel trim plate right above the rear bumper cover, does any one know how to remove it so i can repair it? Are there any bolts or if the plate is just double side taped on?

Many thanks!

Willy

I think you just carefully pry it up to pop the clips loose. I think you may need to take the bumper cover off to do that though. The service manual shows it with the bumper cover off the car.

I've resurrected this old thread hoping that somebody has found a nicer trim plate to replace this ugly satin-coat finished one with.

If not, I'm considering having it removed and painted however I have a feeling that the coating won't hold up all that well; given the heavy traffic. Carbon Fiber maybe?:help:

one option;

buff it to a nice shine !

I did mine and it looks really good now

Thanks David. I guess that would be an option that I have yet to explore. At least it would match the chrome exhaust tips!

Just the same, I'm surprised that Tequipment doesn't have a replacement panel in CF or anothr custom color.

The easiest way is to remove the cover then you can attack the clips from the underside. Its not to bad a job except for removing the rear light clusters which can be nerve wracking
