Front bumper plastric strip.

[2ltrT]

Does anyone know howto remove the black plastic flexible strip under the front bumper?
I'd have a look, but my heads to big to fit under the car LOL, and i'm too lazy to jack it up.

I'm toying with the idea of painting it, i'm sure it'll look tonns better but i'm a little conserned as to how long it'll last before getting damaged. (speedbumps)

many thanks...

You need to speak to CYB or Redbullkid... try sending them a PM.

Redbull Kid took his off on a speed bump but hes lowered, 60mm I think he said, he had cracked it before that but looking at the pics of his car it does look the nuts ...

P.s you must have a very large head !!!

Five minute job to get the thing off, just clipped in and held on with some black plastic rivet thingies. Well worth it ..........

I did catch it on a speed bump but it just pushed back into place. :)

two plastic bolts at each end one in the middle with a plastic spacer. Use a flat head screw driver to prise them all off and try not to break them as you will need to put them back on (or pop down your local VX and ask for a few 'spares'). Then just slowly pull the rubber strips out from the front of the bumper.
It really is easy and took me all of 10mins max to remove mine.

LOL :D

I have just had a quick look, and i didnt realise it was so flexible, might have to get it painted professionaly :(.

i'd take the front bumper off, its easier to get to then as some of the clips are a ****** to get to. Check the how to in the how too section.

I didn't even jack the car up and had mine off in 10mins?

I just slid a wide flat head screwdriver under the top of the plastic rivets and they just popped up and out.

on mine, around the middle of the bumper i have a flat plate which is part of the bumper. It then fixes back to the chassis with some of those black rivets. The plastic skirt clips are on top of that plate on mine so you cant actually get a screwdriver in to pop the clips out. Is yours a 52 plate cyb?

[cyb]

yes Andy it is a 52

Easiest way to get plastic rivets out is to push the centres out of them with a centre punch (or tent peg, or any other thin pointy round tool). Be careful and make sure you keep the centres or they wont be very secure when you try and reuse them. On the plus side, last time i bought some (I was repairing a mates Pug 206 with proper parts!!!) they were only about 20p each.
