Need to remove and refit to allow me to put on my colour coded bump strip on the rear.

Sure its straightforward but is always easier when you know what your doing!

Anyone please?

I can have a look in the Haynes Manual which I have for sale if no one beats me to it (at work currently);

1. Remove rear lights
2. Remove the 2 bolts below each rear light
3.In the rear wheel arches remove the 4 mounting screws from the ends of the rear bumper
4. Remove the 3 mounting bolts on the underside of the bumper
5. With an assistant, ease the edge of the bumpers from the guides.
6. Disconnect the rear number plate light

Did you give this a go mate?

I'll be replacing my Mums rear bumper in the coming weekend (or two!) so would appreciate your feedback on how you found it

Seeing as its Mums car - don't want to break anything you know

Yeah did it yesterday and fitted my painted bumpstrip. Taking the bumper off is extremely easy and you cant really go wrong TBH. Getting the bump srtip off was a two man job for sure, but not too bad.

It got dark when I had it off the car so I took it into my house and gave it a good polish, fitted it again this morning

Sounds good enough then, thank you!
