How to remove rear bumper?

by sinbrad » Fri Oct 08, 2010 10:48 am

Got a wee touch up job to do just under the rear plate, looks like it's a bumber removal job. Can anyone guide me through the removal. Have the boot stripped out and have been looking at how to remove the pegs/clips that seem to be holding the bumber on but can't figure out how to remove them?

Thanks

two screws at the wheel arch, then depending on if its been off before, there are three of the clips that the centre part needs to be pushed out off along the bottom, and then thereis two 8mm head screws at the bottom of the wheel arch onto a bracket ...usuall they snap off though ...then pull the ends the ends out at the wheel arch and it will just come right out ....dont forget the number plate lights though

there is also a griper bit in the boot youll need to unbolt so it releases the 2 lugs on the bumper
