What tool do I need to remove rear bumperettes?
I want to replace my scratched rear bumperette with a pair that was kindly donated to me. What is the bolt on the underside? Does it require a large allen key or some other tool? Thanks for the info. 
BTW the car is back with the spoilers I will post some pics when I can get home early enough to have daylight. It looks like a brand new car I could not be happier with the job Honea Auto Body did, top notch outfit. One problem I am having is the rear spoiler light comes on because it's stationary now. Do I need to reset the computer? Thanks Again <img border="0" alt="[bigbye]" title="" src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" />

gtr,
for the spoiler light Go to P-car.com, there is a plug under the dash, that needs to be disconnected. should be under the DIY section

I forgot what size it was, but either 6mm or 10mm seems to come to mind.
A long allen key will probably work as well.

Anyway, it's either 8 or 10 but like Jeff said, long allen head will get it out (mine were quiote tight so I used allen head socket).

Finn you are correct it was an 8mm allen key, thanks for all the help. Man those things are hard to break loose! <img border="0" alt="[blabla]" title="" src="graemlins/a_smil17.gif" />
