Rear Bumper
#3
Monkey,
First of all, be prepared to replace some of the plastic fittings, the whole bumper is held on by push in clips and a couple of plastic screws. You will break/mangle/completely destoy some of them!
You'll also need to remove the rear lights, this is a pain in the @rse as these are sealed in with a mastic sealer, lost of pushing and pulling is needed and an 8mm spanner to remove the retaining bolts.
Then its just a case of pushing out the plastice clips from either below or above the bumper, in the case of the clips that where under the lights.
This helps a bit.

madras,
What clips behind the lights?
Did you just take the skin off?
I thought there were 4 bolts under the car(2 either side) and the breakable black clips in the arches. I didn't touch my rear lights when I took my rear bumper off!
Need to remember to desconect the number plate lights!!
Then the whole thing slides out on the hanger bracket
