How do I remove this piece?

I noticed some C63's have a body colored stone guard on rear bumper where as others have a black plastic one (not body colored) which is what I have. Does anyone know how to remove it? The body colored ones are just stuck on where mine seems to be part of the bumper.

You can use fishing line to remove the guards, After wards use some Goo-Gone to remove the adhesive.
Used this method when removing my trunk spoiler and it worked well.

Btw The car is lookin great!

I know it's not unusual. I am asking how to remove the rear stone guards off the rear bumper.

I don't have the stick on stone guards, mine seem to be attached to the rear bumper somehow. They are black plastic not body colored

Here's some better pictures of what I mean. For some reason mine aren't body colored like some I have seen (which I think are just stuck on) they are just black plastic and attached the rear bumper somehow

Is that an Australian piece added on to the bumper? Never noticed them before and nothing like that in Canada. Never noticed them for sale aftermarket either. If you check carefully and cannot see any visible fasteners (take the fender liner out and check from the back side as well) then they must be held on with double sided tape or neoprene cement. A fishing line and a little heat should get them gone if they don't have any mechanical fasteners. I think you are on your own on this one. Just go slow and try not to damage anything. Let us know how you make out.

This is definitely something for Europe, Canada and Australia as C63 for the US do not have this feature.

Looks like the 2010 and 2011 models get same as mine (black plastic) where the 08 and 09 get this type which is stuck on and body colored.

I have an Aust delivered (May) 2010 model in Tenorite Grey. Has the black stuck on trim as you describe.
Curious as to why you want to remove it? I am not sure it is a cosmetic piece - ? designed to protect the rear guard from being peppered with stones flicked up by the rear tyres

The reason I was going to take them off is I put new tyres on and they are scraping a little, thought it may be the stone guard thing causing the rubbing
