When I took the rear diffuser off on my 2014 C63 coupe it had the same fixings. They were pop rivets and I just drilled them out and when I replaced the diffuser I used two small bolts and two washers and nylocs, much easier.
Hi Andy no I just wanted access to the tail pipes to clean them up as they are the only scruffy bit on the car as taking them off isn't an option for me. Looks like I will have to preserve and do the best I can. Cheers.
So long as only car guys see you doing it...
It does thanks - it's going to be tricky to get a drill in there. Many thanks.
Yes I will try this first, the undersides are pretty good it’s more the tops and end lips. Might try a long strip of fine wet and dry on the top prior to metal polish. CheersThe underside can be sorted quite easily (if you’re lying in your back ) with wire wool and metal polish. Don’t be afraid to give it a good rub. The ends will be pitted due to exhaust gases , moisture etc. The top can be cleaned up with a long strip of an old t shirt with plenty of metal polish fed over the tip and pulled from side to side. Takes a while but it will work. Good luck
Next weeks job as away a bit this week. Will give it a go. Keep you posted.
I dread to think what's next.....
Guys, is this on your register?

Owner says it’s a 507, but I’m not convinced. Wheels and bonnet were damaged apparently so have been replaced by regular items
Autotrader valuation check puts it at probably the cheapest 507 in the UK and I’ve done a reg check on a friends 507 and it does read ‘507’ on there, but with this one it does not
In no way by any means is it to belittle the chap, in the back of my mind I think he may of purchased what he thought was a 507 when it’s not! Let’s hope he didn’t pay 507 money

Any photos of the interior? Dash plaque, gear leaver and steering wheel should give a better indication of its heritage , unless they were also damaged
