many thanks for this great post, im just about to remove mine this morning due to some little ragie hitting me up the arse end in an astra and driving off, he hit me with such force i thought the total rear end would be a right off, the only damage was to the bumper thanks to the crash bar behind which now needs replacing or straightening, i could get away with repairing the bumper and repainting it, it does need new clips and black spacers between bumper and rear wing but hopefully they wont cost to much, oh and a new no plate which i had a spare anyway, thanks for the that, this will make my job a little easier this morning, mick [ cambridge]
