Hey all, I'm having problems removing my rear bumper. I have a Haynes manual, but I'm not particually mechanically minded. Has anybody done this recently?

So far I have removed the centre nuts & bolts, but cannot find what else is holding it on :?

cheers

remove the two nuts from inside the boot,!

theres two ether side in the arch if you put you hand behind the arch and rub your had up and dow you will feel them, then just undo and give a mighty big tug!

big tug on the bumper tho :wink:

if you see where my bumper is hanging off there should be the two nuts behind there
p.s check out the 40mm drop lol

youll have to fit somekind of bond, perhaps even a good ol' nut and bolt? but im not the best person to ask on these matters... :roll:

the front bumper can be a pain in the arse, you don't have to remove the wings, but it would be easier to take the wheels off, there are two bolts right in the wheel arch and there are another two on the inside of the wing

I found I had to remove the rear wheels to remove the rear bumper, but didn't find the front ones too hard

you don't need to remove the wheels just jack it up high enough
