Bomber Carnage on the Garage Floor Donating Members 3,994 Member For: 14y 5m 29d Gender: Male Location: Gold Coast Posted 09/05/11 06:36 AM Share Posted 09/05/11 06:36 AM Mate buy one of the california car dusters. I've got the 24" one and the smaller one and they work a treat on fiddly bit of the rear bar. The big one is fantastic for the outside period. My car is ego so it shows everything. I go over it everyday but it sits in the garage all week - what a dick I'd love to see someone do an open weave version - similar to the FPV B series on r spec I think? If it matched the grill and lower bar pattern (x hatch) it might look alright. Who's good at photoshop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's when I had a towbar fitted though. Removing the whole rear bumper is not that hard however Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And wombat, you have to take a screw out if either side and then it has clips all the way across, bit of a pain but can be done.
