As shown in this tutorial, removing the rear bumper on a Volkswagen Golf is a straightforward and quick task. First, locate the bolts inside the wheel arches, three on each side, then unscrew them.

Open the boot and remove the large plastic bolts securing the lights. Once these are detached from the bodywork, remove all the plastic rivets along the lower edge of the bumper, grasp the bumper at one end, and pull it away from the chassis.

To fit the replacement, simply follow the reverse procedure.
