Default Removing rear bumper

Hey guys

Has anyone successfully removed their rear bumper on their IS?

Wanting to install a rear diffuser myself but don't know where to start in removing the bumper.

Cheers.

I removed mine a year ago and i don't remember exactly how
But i remember there's a total 6 screws that holding the bumper in place
3 on left side
3 on right side
remove them and then pull out the rest of the bumper carefully because its in place using clips so they will pop out.
heres a diagram i made showing where are the screws located in red arrows



rear bumper removal - screws locations

that all i remember for now
hope it helps

Has anyone had any success doing this? Seems quite difficult. I was able to remove the screws on the bottom and the ones behind the popouts in the boot but wasnt able to reach the other one

you don't need to remove the whole bumper to change the diffuser !!

i took my babe to the shop so i can install Tom's quad exhaust + Tom's rear diffuser and they did
remove rear diffuser without removing the rear bumber !!
