–   Remove tail lights → Electrical system; Rep. Gr.94
–   Remove bolts -4- on left and right in area of wheel housing liner.
–   Remove bolts -5- (point upwards) on left and right.
–   Remove bolts -2- and -3- from underneath.

Further removal is only possible with the help of a second mechanic.

–   Pull rear bumper cover -1- out of fasteners in side guides -arrows a-.
–   Pull rear bumper cover -1- parallel off vehicle -arrows b-.
–   Disconnect connectors from all electrical components.

Is there any more pictures of the fasteners talked about at area (a) as my bumper does not seem to fit in this area i notice today for some reasons (amazed ive not seen it before when washing/waxing, maybe its been the heat distorted it?)
The bumper is sitting in at the middle of that seem next to [a] a couple of mills in so maybe its not in the side guides or just needs adjustment somehow.

Area A clips in to place so doubt there would be any adjustment, mine didn't fit well either.

I will have a look to see if there is any more pics in ETKA or ELSA now.
