Hi, I now have my 206 GTi 180 with its collapsed rear trailing arm bearings fully repaired. I found a complete & sound rear axle beam, so did a swap. Had a few other issues to deal with before compliance was satisfied, a front wheel bearing, 4 new tyres, horn replacement, cleaning/flushing screen washers & replacing rear brake pads. A very neglected car. But it only cost me $1,125 at auction.
The rear bumper valance is badly scratched in many places & would be easier to work on if removed but having been under the car I can see very few securing bolts & screws but there is this enormous rear muffler in place of where a spare wheel would go.
Has anyone tried to remove a rear bumper on a GTi 180? If so I could use some help.
Are there fixings in behind the muffler, requiring removal of muffler?
I have seen a You Tube vid of standard 206 bumper removal but not helpful for the 180. Cheers
