Default Removed Rear Bumperettes

The rear bumper cover was off of my 2011 C4S for install of the PSE. I had the body shop remove the rear bumperettes and they did a beautiful job. I think it really cleans up the back end of the car.

The body shop used another bumper for material and plastic welded or grafted a piece in place. Then filler and prime/paint. They are BIG holes but the result is perfect and I doubt the filler will shrink. Not much was used.

It looks naked without a euro plate! The bumperttes have grown on me and have saved my bumper from some scratches.

Although I love the look without the bumperettes, they have saved me once at a parking lot.

the bumper has a space to accommodate most of the worlds long plates, for a country like usa with rectangular plates it fills the extra space with bumperetts, instead of making 2 different bumpers. So if you happen to like the looks of it w/out its your opinion
