There is a screw in the wheel arch just behind the liner. If you loosen this screw the side strips come out and reveal the centre rear strip.
You work from the sides toward the middle.
You can remove the whole bumper but it is a bit of a pain.
Just be sure to remove the screw that is for the bumper strip and not the one that keeps the bumper close to the bodywork, although you may need to loosen that one.
do you know if removing the centre strips will be enough to fit sensors
read somewhere else easier to remove whole bumper
also you say screw in wheelarch, do you have to remove liner for access?
thanks
