General Rear Bumper removal 2018 500 Duo

[Ljohnb]

Can anyone please direct help me with advice to remove rear bumper from the car and the chrome strip from the bumper. I have seen the two screws on the underside of the bumper but presume that there are others to the sides.

Thank you

Think ones on lower edge, remove both light clusters and bolts underneath plus small screws in wing guards, may be some along the top too.

There are also tabs that hold the chrome strip in. Get the bumper off and all will be clear.

Hi, my first post. I would like to replace a damaged rear chrome bumber strip on a 2013 Fiat 500 lounge. Can anyone please advise if it can be removed without taking off the complete bumper. Is it possible to simply lever it off with a trim tool or flat blade. Has anyone done this without damage to the bumper. Thanks.

No it has screws and tabs which you can’t get to. Bumper needs to come off.

Thanks typecastboy, Bumper off it is then. I knew about the tabs which I thought would just break off or pull through but didn't realise there were hidden screws. Better safe than sorry ?
