S3 Rear Bumper Removal - How?

[Ian W]

Need to change one of my parking sensors tomorrow. I thought before I start I would see if there is anything in particular I need to be doing to remove the rear bumper?

Had a quick look the other day and there are a few torx screws in the wheel arches but can't see much else, where else does it bolt on?

Thanks

There are the torx screws inside of the wheel arches as you mentioned, also a couple from memory underneath the bumper near the exhaust/heat shield and finally if you open the boot and remove the plastic trim that runs along the top of the bumper (one torx either side next to the lights) then you will see some more screws underneath that you need to remove. I haven't taken mine off for a while but I think that is pretty correct. Pull one side off of the wheel arch and then it should pull off pretty easy- if not then there will be a screw that hasn't been removed.
