DIY - removing the rear bumper shroud

Hey guys..

I wanted to share my latest DIY video, though the work really is simple. Some idiot clipped my bumper in the parking lot a little while ago, and I needed to replace a bumper clip, and also get it repainted. What I found though is my paint shop wanted to charge me $400 for just removing and replacing the bumper. Say what?!?! Yeah.. no.

6 bolts and 10min later I have it off, and I wanted to share the process if folks here didn't know it, or have the process handy.

I was able to easily replace the broken clip, and will just drop the bumper off to be repainted.

Great video, well done. You probably should have mentioned those with PDC will need to disconnect the PDC harness from inside the boot before pulling the bumper.

Fantastic feedback! I didn't think about PDC in this car as I don't have it.. duly noted, thank you!
