Hi,

Due to an unfortunate incident involving my girlfriend and a bollard (in no particular order) my rear bumper now has some nice paint damage and has popped out of it's right hand side fixing.

I need to remove it and refit to get the side clip back on.

There are two tow eye/fitting hardware covers preventing access to the torx bolts that I need to undo to remove the bumper.

Anyone know how these come out without damaging them?

Do they just pop out?

Thanks

They just pop out, then you need a T55 torx bit and some luck to remove the bolts.

Thanks Mark

Spray them with WD40 or equivalent to release the rust from them, and then use and extension bar, easier.

Good fitting guide below

Thanks for the replies - I have been looking at the Wiki guide.

Anyone know whether the tow eye / hardware fitting covers pop out from the bottom or top?

I can't get enough access from behind to push them out and don't want to do any paint damage forcing them with a cloth covered screwdriver.

Cheers

they pop out from the top, a screwdriver from the top and pop em out.
