How to Remove the Rear Bumper on a Smart 450?

Model: Smart Smart 450 - Years 1998-2007
Part: Rear bumper

To remove the rear bumper on a Smart 450, loosen the three bolts located immediately under the tailgate of the boot. Next, loosen the bolts found on the outer edges of the wheel arches and at the bottom of the bumper; these are mostly Torx screws size 25. Once all the previously indicated screws have been removed, you can detach the bumper and remove it from its housing. After the old bumper has been removed, replace it and secure it with all the appropriate screws.
