<![CDATA[How to Remove Rear Bumper?]]>Hey guys,

I need to whip the rear bumper off my silver Presso this weekend. I haven't had a look at how to remove it, so it might be very obvious. Are there any hints/tricks/tips for removing it? I thought I'd ask now in advance than over the weekend :bigok:

Would be nice to know if there is a guide.

Take off your rear lights
Remove the bolt/screws hidden under them
Remove the screws (7 or 8mm head) attaching the bumper ends to the arches
Remove splash trim as required
Take off the inside boot rear trim. You will then see the main nuts for the bumper (14mm socket)
Watch out for your number plate lights interfering

Well put together anyway! Probably should have washed under the car before I started lol

Spoiler,

Remove the upper trim, and just undo the bolts, under the spoiler, I think there are 4 thats it.
