Two 15mm (IIRC)) bolts holds the bumper on but remove the end caps first. Rear bumper rusts like f*** but cheap enough to replace with new, check out prices before painting.

True, they aren't expensive, but got some 2k primer and some bumper paint... as long as it's not like rice paper it'll be painted :)

Did this over the weekend, usual corroded nuts.... plus with the towbar on it's a bit worse, done now, 2k primer and some hycote bumper spray (Dark GreY) looks 10 times better.... but them spurious end caps are pony.... gave it a bit of a shove and it cracked in half almost, d1ckheads want 25 quid for genuine and they're not even mint!... capless on one side for now!
