To remove the rear bumper from a Hyundai i30 MK2, you will need: a cross screwdriver, a 10 mm socket wrench, a flat screwdriver or clip tool, and a cloth to protect the paint. Open the boot and remove the two screws located at the sides of the opening (one on each side, near the lights).

Then, in the rear wheel arches, remove the screws and plastic clips that secure the inner lining of the wheel arch to the bumper (about 3-4 per side). Under the car, locate and unscrew the screws that hold the bumper to the chassis (usually 2-4 screws of 10 mm). At this point, the bumper is only held by the side clips: gently grasp the edge of the bumper near the wheel arch and pull outward to release the clips, starting from one side and moving towards the centre.

Be careful not to scratch the paint. Once all the clips are released, the bumper will come off. Disconnect the connectors for the parking sensors and fog lights (if present) before completely removing it. For reassembly, follow the reverse order.

On some versions of the i30 MK2, there may be additional screws hidden behind the wheel arches or under the lights. If the bumper does not come off, do not force it: double-check that all screws and clips have been removed.
