Anyone know how easy/hard it is to remove the rear bumper vents?

Would have thought it would be more cost effective to see if anyone on here wants to swap their black FR bumper for it? Would imagine at least a few people would like it and see it as an upgrade.

Oh i see what you mean. Sorry, I just shouldn't get out of bed on Monday's!

Would imagine it would be easy to see how it's attached if you remove the wheel arch liner

They would look v v nice hydro dipped, are you going for a carbon colour? Where are you thinking of getting them done? Also as to removing them, have you had a look at your rear bumper itself? With things like that it's probably easier to take your bumper off and flip it over to check how they are fitted as removing them you will have to do that anyway

I have got them out and are being dipped as we speak, yes they are going carbon fibre styled. I was a bit rough with getting them out really, I could access the clips with the plastic diffuser removed but they were extremely tough, I ended up getting them as loose as I could and getting my long nose pliers into the edge and just pulled them out, I only broke 2 clips from each vent

Car isn't the cleanest but got a rare glimpse of sunshine today so grabbed a quick pic! The picture doesn't do it any justice though unfortunately
