I need to replace my rear bumper as some idiot decided to wreck mine! Iv bought a replacement but now i need to switch them.

Only part that is causing me issues is the fixings that hold the ends in above the wheel arches.

Cant figure how to get in!

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks.
 
Thanks for the quick reply. Dont think i explained what i mean properly.
I have pictures on my laptop so il upload when im at home.

Its the screw that goes in the slotted hole that fixes bumper under the back panel if you know what i mean. Kind of long plastic nut thing which a bolt goes into?

Il upload pics! Confusing myself!
 
Yes I now know what your on about :)

They are a disaster to take out. Some are hex 10mm heads, others are allen and Ive had torx bolts holding them in :mad:

There are 2 per side, each with not too much access to get at. If you can, undo the screws for the mudflap and the bottom bolts for the bumper, this is how I work at them. If you need more space, clean the nut for the mudflap very well and apply lots of plusgas on the nut. Remove the nut to remove the mudflap fully.

Try it without taking the mudflap off, the less off and undisturbed the better :)
