Can't help you there mate. From your recent post it seems that you're taking the whole car to bits though. What are you up to?

i think there are some clips behind it as mine was loose when i got it but i managed to reattach it. Lie under it and you should be able to see Rob. and i agree, what are you up to?

To remove the bumper....

First jack the arse end up as high as you can.......then support with axel stands...

Now remove the 6, 19mm a/f bolts under the chassis.....they hold the tow eyes and exhaust in place as well...

Now open the boot and remove the rear pannel cover, unplug the number plate lights and feed the wires through the grommet holes...

On the bumper corners where the rear arch meets the bumper there will be either a big 17mm bolt or a clip which will need the centre popping out...

Then back under the car, there are two bolts just on the inside of the rear spats that will need to be removed, then take off the number plate and there is a 10mm bolt that will also need removing...

Now with the help of a friendly assistant you will need to support the bumper corners to stop it tipping and scratching the quarter panels lift the bumper gently and slide out of the chassis, you need to lift it as there are two metal locators on the bumper frame which locate in the chassis rail...

make sure you have stand or blanket to put the bumper on...

hope this helps...

Managed on my own just. Bumper was nice and easy. Spats were absolute f*****s!
