The preliminary operation is to detach the rear wheel arch from the bumper to access the screws underneath that secure the bumper (the wheel arch detaches by extracting the two plastic screws with a lever). Now unscrew all the screws around the perimeter of the bumper (you can see them by opening the rear hatch) and now you can detach the plastic from the bodywork by gently pulling it outwards: during this operation, be careful not to break the locking pins. Once you have extracted and replaced the bumper, you can reposition it and secure it by following the same operations done previously.
