Anyplace on this or some other site to learn how to do this on an 05MCSC? TIA Michael

 

Rear bumper removal is easy, is best done if you remove the wheel liners. It allows you to see the attachement points better. Just look for the screws holding it on. Also, with the whell wells out you may want to try spraying undercoating inside to help with road noise. I did this when I put on the cooper mudflaps and it really helped. The mudflaps helped with the rear dirt also.

 

Try this.
