Xsara Rear Bumper Removal.

[David W]

Just got our recently aquired A1 condition Xasra spot on with all jobs up to date.... and someone in a Vectra runs into the back of it tonight as the good lady was stopped at a pedestrian crossing!

To the casual look the Xsara seemed unmarked yet the Vectra bonnet was folded up... "looking like a tent" as our youngest said.

Of course a more careful look at the Xsara showed an impact damaged black bumper insert and deep scuffing to the painted bit.

Anyone ever removed the rear bumper and is it as easy as Haynes describe? Also do the black bump strip bits come off somehow without removing the bumper?

Thanks,

David

Thanks for that image Anders. It now appears the repair will go through the insurer of the guy at fault. We have only just bought this car to last a good few years. I would rather have been in control so we don't find a slapdash repair ends up with the new paint flaking off in 18mths time.

We'll see.

You still have the right to choose where to have the car repaired .

Hi
I have the same problem with my 98 xsara estate, i want to remove the bumper or if possible just the black inserts in order to fit rear parking sensors. The inserts look as though they should be able to be removed separately but i can't see how they come off.
