MG ZS EV Rear Bumper Removal

[TheBod1973]

Hi all. I am wanting to remove the rear bumper so as to install a tow bar on my MG ZS EV 2023 facelift edition. I have removed the rear lamp clusters and all the screws from underneath. I have pulled the plastic rear quarter panel off down from the boot lid to the wheel arch but there is resistance. Is there a special tool/skill required to complete the bumper removal? I have trawled through the internet and nothing is clear or obvious.

Have you removed these?

Yes, all the screws removed. Have managed to separate the bumper from the rear quarter panel down to the wheel arch. Just don't know what clips are involved at the bottom

Take a look on eBay at used bumpers as it looks like a screw is under arch trim.

The trim around the arch should be removed first. The attachment locations are here:
