OK guys and girls - who knows how to get the plastic trim out of alloy bumper trims on 68 912. There must be a trick!
Also does anybdy have any of the rectangular head M5 (I think) that secure trim to bumer.
Cheers

If they're of any use to you I have a pair of the rear bumper trims complete, all the fixings are ok and generally not in bad nick ( I changed them for some new ones whilst in the process of a total restoration )
Can email pics if you wish

Evening Silverfox-

Presuming you mean the rubber inserts for the chromed/alloy bumper trim - then, from my experience, you need to simply pull it out - ideally get hold of the end of the rubber insert with a vicegrips (very crude - but effective

) and pull it out !

Not sure if there is much more of a trick to it than that - but happy to be corrected.

However, when I looked at simply changing the inserts - I decided to replace the entire bumper trim as they were pretty battered on my car.

Good luck

Regards
Sean
