How to disassemble the rear bumper on a Volkswagen Golf?

Model: Volkswagen Golf MK 5, Golf 5, Golf V - Years 2003-2008
Part: Rear bumper

In this tutorial we can see how to remove the rear bumper on the Volkswagen Golf, a very simple and fast operation. First of all, we open the rear hatch, then we remove the carpet placed on the back of the lights, unscrew the fixing nuts and remove the lights themselves. We then identify all the bolts indicated, located inside the wheel arches, on the lower edge and in the housing of the lights, and unscrew them using Torx T20, T25 and T30 keys. At this point we can grab the bumper, separate it from the frame and install any replacement.
