yes, of course you can, its obviouslt easier with the whole bumper off the car, but you can remove it ok with the rear bumper still attached, i had to do this to fit the custom exhaust system.
its only a few screws/bolts.

nice, reason i ask is because i would like to install my rear mtech bumper with the diffuser unpainted and see if i like the look, if i dont i would like to know that it can be removed easily so i could get it painted and put back on.
is it pretty easy to get to the screws/bolts once the bumper is on the car though?
thanks

i see what you mean...depends if you like lying on your back with your hands/arm distorted... 
but yes its manageable.
on ebay uk they are selling a fully carbon fibre one for approx ?200 ???

Yeah, a real pain with the bumper on. It only takes 20 min to remove the bumper. Just put it on and then take it off if you need to. It will save you some hassle.
