Hi,
Someone has driven into the rear of my Willaims in a car park and the black (now grey) trim has cracked and opened up (damage) but the rest of the rear bumper seems fine.
Can just the trim (black / grey piping) be replaced without replacing the whole of the rear bumper?, thanks !
GK
No i dont think so,its part of the mould,you can only remove the middle thin strip

This is the bit that's broken. Can it be replaced?
then yes,you need to push it out from the inside,its held in with tabs so probably easier to remove rear bumper first

That's good news, thanks. I don't suppose anyone knows if its an identical part to a standard mk1?
Not sure if the Valver/Wiliams rear bumpers are a tad wider than lower spec ones

Anyone have one for sale?
Quote me by message please
i would buy new tbh, they arent too much and would look better than a scanky old one
How is the exhaust getting on - looks like it needs a clean :winkey:

New is £25 + VAT so I'll go with that then.
How much work is involved? I'm no good at anything like this so how much should I expect to pay a garage?

I need to call the lady and tell her how much she owes me.
dead easy. 2 ways.
1 - remove bumper and push old trim strip off. Its only held in with grip clips.
2 - if the strip is cut as yours is, just pull it away from the bumper and then refit your new one.
when u fit the new one - fit it into the bumper at either end first then snap / clip in place.
