Hi I have a 1.6 HDI 16V (92bhp) Diesel 2009.

Now I'm trying to remove the rear bumper. I've removed bolts on the wheel arch and under the rear lights and under torx the bumper bottom edge including the push fastners, but it wont come off.

I wonder what else need to be removed and if it's the same as the pic below mentioned in another post?

Many thanks in advance.

Looking at the diagram you posted, there looks like some concealed fixings behind the part marked '5' along the horizontal centreline of the bumper. But do they just hold on the part 5 or do they attach a bit of the bumper to something? I don't know :oops:

not sure if the diagram is for a ordinary C3 VTR or the special model with extra trims? :?

ah actually a set of three fish tails along the top of the bumper, first removed the black cover on the boot body edge (4 screws). The middle fish tail can be aided by pushing on the black mount that does not need to come off :D
