   how does it come off? I want to repaint my tow hook coz its gone a bit rusty so I thought it would be easier to take off the bumper then I can sand it down and do it properly. cheers!

   Take off the rear lights 2 bolts inside the boot,underneath the bumper a further 2 bolts.Pull gently at each corner of the bumper to disengage the fixings you may have take off the rear wheel arch liners (not 100% sure on this)

   i duno about all saxos but my vtr also has a bolt each side in the wheel arch, it goes through the wheel arch trim and into the bumper bracket.
