A friend of mine is going to paint my front/rear bumpers.

I have already removed the front bumper, but how do I remove the rear bumper?

What about the parkingsensors? And do I have to remove the backlights?

I took my rear bumper off to fit a towbar, I found the procedure on these pages somewhere, (its there if you search), but I can roughly remember that:-

Remove both rear mudflaps

Remove the torx screws in the rear wheel arch that hold the bumper, take care there are some that can be easily missed, it can be done with the wheels on the car but its a lot easier with out them in the way

Remove the torx screw under the back of the bumper that hold it to the under boot wheel well trim

Remove rear lights and thin trim outside boot between lights above the bumper, remove all torx screws

I think thats all the fixings removed

With help pull the bumper away from the car (if it dont move there are still some screws to be removed(learnt this from experience!)), you will see that its held either side of the car with a push in brackets

Unplug reverse sensors and the bumpers off

hope this helps
