The rear undertray, or rear tray, needs to be removed for most jobs involving the exhaust system. It's a relatively simple job and can be done without needing to jack the car. There are in fact two rear undertrays (back and middle) which are bolted together (a third being the front undertray).

Bolt removal order

Recommended Removal order of the rear under tray bolts are: -

  1. Remove all the 'RED' doted bolts first, they are 8MM.
  2. Remove the 'GREEN' dotted bolt, also 8MM.
  3. Finally remove the 'BLUE' doted Allen bolts.
