With tools :lol: ..........

First take off tail lights and number plate. You have to get under the bumber and look up you will see about 6 bolts, in the wheel arch you have about 3 each side, in the boot pull back the carpet above the tool hold containers and there is about 2-3 bolts each side, about 4 fastners on the boot trim. The side metal brackets come off with the bumper.

Nah, easier to do it with the rheo attached.

- One on either side at the front of the top of the bar under the wheel arch

- Clip at the bottom front on each side holding front of bar to lower wheel arch

- remove lining in boot. Inside the trays on either side are 2 bolts each side

- take out the rear cover so you can get to the back of the tail lights. There are 6-8 plastic studs that normally hold this in.

- remove tail lights

- remove 2 bolts one either side of car holding in side of bar

- remove 2 nuts under tail lights in boot.

Bar should slide out.

Plus the three plastic screws holding the top in but all the rest was right, thanks Dwayne
Was seeing if it had been in a rear end accident coz the standard one that's on my car is a few mil out
But it all looks fine
