i have just bought the TTE rear bumper insert off ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2476521139&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOAB:UK:6

Could anyone give me a bit of a head start when i come to take my bumper off by telling me where all the bolts are. knowing my luck ill probly break something s:roll: :roll: s:roll:

black plastic clips under the rear deck.

3 more the same visible from underneath (absolute swine to get out)

4 bolts 2 each side behind teh rear lights. you'll need to remove the lioghts to get at them

1 in each wheel arch, these have screw heads so with a long enough screwdriver you won't need to take teh wheel off.

I think thats teh lot.

I'll check teh BGB and get back to you.

it's surprisingly easy, though you will need someone else to take the weigth as you put it back on.

about spraying the bumper insert, can i just take the paint colour code to any body shop or is it toyota specific? and does anyone know the code as i beleive they changed the silver from 03 onwards...

just take the colour code.

Even halfords can make it up from that :-) :-) :-)

do you have an o3 or pre03?
