Thanks, I wasn't sure if i needed to take the rear side panels off
Remove the screws from the wheel arches that the bumper attaches to
Remove the number plate lights
Remove the two torx bolts from underneath the bumper. They screw threw to the impact bar and you will need a long extension and I think the torx is T30
Pull the bumper off you do not need to take the side brackets off as the bumper slides on/off them and it is far easier and quicker to leave them on
It literally takes about 40mins and that's with having a cuppa on the go
