   Theres the 2 bolts on the top under the lights
   Two bolts underneith the car
   Also 2 bolts in the wheel arch's remove them
   Pull the bumper outwards and slide it back, it will pop over the tow eye

   it makes it alot easier but you can remove the arch trim from the rear bumper and bend it back without removing wheel, but for the 10 mins of jacking it up and taking wheel and liner off it makes it alot easier
