So, to get rid of it, just follow step 1 in the instructions (I’ve broken it down a little for you):
1. Take out three torx screws one from each wheel well.
2. By inserting a plug via the port on the interior of the trunk, remove both tail lights. Rotate the light gently to avoid damaging the tabs on the back (rotate then pull straight out from the side to remove lens).
3. Take out two Torx screws one from each tail light (one short black, one long silver).
4. Take out the two torx screws that are located on the bumper’s bottom.
5. To get access, use a screwdriver to remove the plastic covers from the trunk (2)
using a 10mm deep socket, hex nuts. Make sure the socket you use has adequate depth to prevent it from bottoming out on the post. Use
6. Separate the bumper cover from the car’s side by pulling it straight rearward.

How is a rear bumper opened?
Your car may sustain damage in an accident and look ugly. A bumper to bumper collision is the most common type of accident. Nowadays, most car bumpers are composed of plastic, which is brittle and prone to cracking. The time and money required to install a new bumper are almost equivalent to those required to repair an existing bumper. A rear bumper can be easily removed with the right equipment and methods.
Step 4
Remove the two to four screws holding your bumper to the inside of the tire wells of your rear wheels. These screws are located closest to the bumper on the tire well.
Step 5
Slide your car’s back end beneath. To remove the plastic rivets along the underside of the rear bumper, use a flathead screwdriver. Four to six rivets are ideal.
Pull the bumper off forcefully while kneeling behind the car. The remaining components holding your rear bumper in place, the pop-in-place plastic rivets, will make popping plastic noises.

The best way to remove a dented bumper
- The dented bumper should be heated using a heat gun or a hair dryer. For at least 30 seconds or longer, warm the bumper.
- Point the nozzle of a compressed air can at the dent while holding the can so that the bottom is facing up.
- Hold off until the dent emerges.
Why is the back bumper removed?
Owners of modified cars in India appear to be adopting a new trend. It’s known as “back bumper delete” because it entails totally deleting your car’s rear bumper! Next, what? “Delete front bumper”?
Many Lamborghini owners throughout the world started this in order to display their vehicles’ exhaust systems. For less drag on the racetrack, some Honda Civic racers in the 1990s also removed their bumpers (related info). 4x4s frequently use this technique to increase their off-road prowess. Enhancing performance makes sense under these particular circumstances. But what about on common roadsters? That is merely foolish.
There is a Bangalore-based Lamborghini Huracan from the Bren Garage that lacks a rear bumper. For more cooling, the bumper was taken off, exposing the Novitec Inconel Race Exhaust.
Any rear contact would harm the mechanicals and bodywork because there isn’t a rear bumper. There is absolutely no defense! A threat to other automobiles and bikes as well because they lack the “cushion” in the event of an accident involving you. When the wheel well is gone, the risk of the tyre kicking up dirt into the car’s interior is increased.
The Indian car-modding scene appears to be adopting this style with ordinary mass-produced vehicles! There are a few vehicles without rear bumpers, including the Baleno, Polo, Swift, and even the Innova. How foolish! With these cars, it is essentially useless and, in my opinion, looks awful.
