First, remove the two wheels by unscrewing their fixing bolts and slightly lifting the car to extract them more easily. Once done, unscrew the screws in the wheel arches that are now accessible.

Working underneath the bumper, unscrew the two bolts present here. Now, remove the two rear lights: to do this, open the boot lid, remove the two small covers shown in the video using a small flat screwdriver, and unscrew the bolts that are now exposed.

Extract the lights and disconnect their connector. Now unscrew the screws securing the bumper from above and carefully remove it.
