DIY for rear bumper removal?
I’m trying to swap out the OEM rear diffuser on my AMG line rear bumper with an Ebay E53 style one (I don’t care, plastic is plastic, and don’t worry I’m not slapping on an AMG badge on my POS E300)
Is there a DIY on rear bumper removal?
Thanks!

Konigster, do you have the rear bumper installation instructions for the facelift cars by chance?

OP - Which Ebay E53 diffuser did you buy btw and how'd it turn out? Been thinking about doing the same thing to mine.

Removing W213 Estate internal boot trim
Great diagrams to help with bumper removal but beforehand just how do you get the Chrome strip just inside tail gate off?
've removed 3 screws and 2 plastic expansion rivets but it won't shift. Does it lever upwards or something/slide back or forth? I'd really appreciate any guidance as I need to access rear right side tail lamp which has either worked loose or wasn't reinstalled correctly when replacement tow bar fitted by MB service agent (40miles away!). Thanks everyone for forum's invaluable guidance

Thanks! This is the one I was looking at, seems like the same style - I'm just going for all black.

I got my car back, the paint quality is good, fitment is good (except one spot on the passenger side bottom - that is getting worked on today by the shop I had this put on)
I will post pictures tonight if I have time.
