    How to remove the rear bumper (repair manual)

    I'm wondering if somebody have the pages on the repair manual that shows how to remove the rear bumper.
    I'm looking forward to change my exhaust, but I don't want to pay insane money for the labor.

    are you changing the exhaust tips? or the whole exhaust system?
    just curious because when my garage took the rear bumper off. the exhaust ends were mounted on the bumper not part of the exhaust, so if you wanted to change the style of the exhaust you can change just the ends cheaper option..something i didnt know and thought id share. i can ask enkahnz bodyshop were my car is at how to remove the rear bumper. they have worked on alot of r8s including mine.. sorry i dont have a manual.

    If you're operating on a budget, you probably ought to invest in a service manual yourself. It'll save you a lot in the long run I think. And it's a lot faster!
