Attach a piece of tape to the wing extender's rear section to protect it when removing the bumper cover at the front edge. The tape must be positioned so as not to leave any marks when prying the bumper loose.
Carry out the procedure on both sides of the car.

Remove the bumper cover from the body by carefully prying off the ends at the taped surface using a weatherstrip tool. Pull off the cover under the tail lamp and from the rear edge of the wing on each side. It is secured by four clips at the tail lamp and four in the rear edge of the rear wing. Pull the bumper cover straight back.

Disconnect the connector for the license plate lighting, on the left-hand side. If the car has rear parking assistance, disconnect the connector on the right-hand side.
Remove the pieces of tape.
