S2k Rear bumper design fault

[Mickwilbob]

Hi, has anyone experience the design fault in the rear bumper of the S2000?
My 05 model collects gravel in the centre section where the number plate is.
Anyone else experienced this?

They all do it , from the first one made to the last .

They do but there is an easy fix
Whip it off and fill the "scoop" with foam

[Mickwilbob]

Thanks for that... how easy is it to remove the bumper?

Can't you just hold the car upside down and shake all the gravel out?

We were at Oulton a few Decembers ago and one of the lads ran his (much lowered) Integra into the kitty litter. Wish we could have done exactly that...

It was OK, though. We got the girls to bounce the car as we got the gravel out (and watched the girls 'bouncing').

three clips under boot lip
two clips at the bottom
two screws in wheel arch
aannnnnnnnnnnd pull!
watch out for rear lights (and or fog light) loom

Surely the number plate surround can be removed without yanking the whole apron off?

It can be, but it is easier & quicker to take the bumper off to get access from above the holder and fill the void that fills with stones.
I've done it both ways
