the sides are on sliders so it will just pull straight off but you can push the corners as its probs clogged with rubbish.

You may end up takeing the two 10mm bolts out either side of the inner rear arch if it dont budge.

Id do that tbh, because the sliders always snap off the sides of the bumpers when you try and slide it off the holders.....

do you not need to take the bumper off to get to the bolts of the sliders iirc

I thought they bolt on from the inside of the arch?

Nope, the bumper has to slide off.

The slider bracket attatched to the car is riveted on iirc.

Hit and hope lol
