These instructions apply to the hatchback and saloon versions.

* Remove the fixings on the rear wheelarch liners to enable you to pull the liners away where they meet the rear bumper. The easiest way to do this is to have the rear of the car on stands and the back wheels removed but this isn't essential.
* When you pull the liners back you will reveal the screws securing the bumper, 2 each side - remove these.
* Crawl under the car and you will see some metal pressed steel nuts which hold the underside of the bumper to the spare wheel well. These should come off quite easily.
* Open the boot and there are two TORX screws, one each side, near to the tail lights - take these out.
* Now unclip the bumper at the sides and it will just pull off.

For the estate models there are no screws holding the bumper on other than those 2 small 8mm bolts in either wheel arch. When refitting the bumper on the estate it may be neccesary to align the bumper on the clips first, then slide it forward to hook over the 2 protrusions that are at the front of the plastic locating slats nearest the bumper.

I followed this guide and spent an eternity looking for these 2 extra bolts before succuming to temptation and pulling with all my might.

I will upload some pictures of the removed bumper to show where it clips into the bodywork plastic.

On the ST versions you will need to remove a small peice of undertray and avoid leaning the bumper on the exhaust as it will snag on the tailpipes and not come off cleanly, idealy this requires 2 peole to keep it level when removing.</rev>

== Rear Centre Seat Belt Sticking ==

=== Problem ===

If you find the rear centre seatbelt sticks when pulling it out or if there is a squeaking noise from the rear of the car try this. 

=== Solution ===

Fold the seat down and then slam it shut again. You may need to slam it quite hard.

If the belt sticks when it reels back in, try cleaning the plastic guide where it goes into the seat with furniture polish. This makes it more slippy and makes it easier to wind in.
