Installation of the rear bumper of the Volkswagen Golf.

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

If we want to give the Volkswagen Golf a more aggressive look with a lower bumper, the market offers a wide choice. Once we have obtained the model that satisfies us, we proceed with the installation. Using a 10mm key, we remove the rear lights, disconnect the electrical connectors and set them aside. In the frame of the lights, we will find two screws, three more screws can be found in the rear bumper arch, and two more are located in the lower edge of the bumper. Once these screws are removed, the bumper block will come off. Being careful with the sensor and rear camera cables, we lay it on the ground, remove the license plate holder and begin to detach the lower bumper. Once separated, we remove the metal clips, which serve as a base for the fixing screws, from the old lower bumper and install them on the new one. We attach the new lower bumper to the bumper and begin to reassemble everything on the car, securing it with its screws. We reattach the license plate and the two rear lights.
