Changing a rear bulb

I've been driving for 22 years and have had a lot of cars. Nearly always to change a bulb you remove a plastic clip, remove old bulb, insert new bulb, replace clip.
Never before have I needed a spanner, AND a screwdriver just to change a bulb. Until today. This might only apply to the five door, but I needed to replace the brake bulb. Three nuts to remove the complete rear light unit. Four screws to remove the back plate containing the bulbs.
Blinking Flip.

Talking That's correct...........................

and it's exactly the same for a three door!

As they say, FIATs are owned by enthusiasts, not motorists!

Re: Changing a rear bulb

True, but I pity the owner who isn't an enthusiast, and has to take it to a garage to get a bulb changed.
What are the fronts like?
