Title: PFL bumper inserts.
Post by: TheTigerUK on December 9, 2022, 17:54
Am I correct in thinking the bumper has to be removed fully or partially to replace the inserts ?

You CAN do it through the gap in the middle if you remove the number plate holder.

@Call the midlife! thanks for that, is the number plate holder straight forward to remove ?

Depends how your number plate is held on but otherwise it's just screws. The clips on the inserts are brittle at the best of times though, let alone in winter so try and get some heat in them if you're going down that route.

Thanks, no great rush to change out in this weather, just planning ahead.
