if i remember correctly you unbolt the two bolts under the car. then there are two screws at the bottom corners of the bumper.

should slide out.

This is a doddle if the bolts are not seized..
There will be three small bolts on the underside of the bumper two near the bottom of the back arches and one around the middle of the rear bumper remove these first
then there are two each side holding the bumper in place bolt from underneath. these are the hard ones to remove as they become seized up.
get these opf and all you do is slide the bumped backwards off the slide mounts
 :wink:

There just little self tappers holding the plastic in place. Not essential and probably missing if youve never noticed them. But yes i agree with you all its an easy job. The only trouble i had was moving the exhaust out of the way to get at the 2 bolts on one side as my exhaust silencer was huge!

To take the bumper off there are just 4 bolts, look underneath and you'll see the 2 big metal supports either side and the bolts holding them on.  Unfortunately the nuts are square jobbies that just sit in a square hole if you get me, so they can pup out when you try to undo the bolts.  Takes a bit of a fiddle to get them back into the slots, but shouldn't take more than 30 minutes to swap the bumper if the bolts arn't totally siezed.

Mine was held on with your average bolt, not square jobbies. i just used a socket set to remove them. Might be different on different years.

Yeah the bolts are standard, I mean they are screwed into nuts that sit in a square hole, if they pop out the bolt will just turn without loosening if you get me.
