Default Removing IS 220 rear bumper

Can anyone give me any information on removing the rear bumper to replace the park assist sensors. My IS 220d se 2007 has a fault on after market sensors and I have purchased another set and any help on removing the bumper would be very usefull, as I have tried once got so far by removing all the under side fixings but seemed to be still held.

If you go to Sewell's website, and click through to find the rear GFX installation manual PDF, the directions are there. Let me see if I can find it for you.

NP, good luck, should be straight forward. There is one clip in the wheel arch area which you probably did not know about before. Other then that its simple.

Thanks your info was perfect bumper was taken off very easily. That part of job went very well..... the rest not so. Reverse sensors were not quite the fit expected, alittle smaller than oem version therefore will need to be fixed in. they are not too loose but will feel much better when a tight fit. if you have any ideas i would be gratefull. not too good a day really especially as bumper came off so well... Needed to prize the rear seat forward a little to release reverse buzzer cable and now working on putting back in place as seat not fully attached, would think its another one of those jobs that is very simple but you need that no how, which I have not got at the moment having previosly owned Bmw's. So again any help would just save me from the wifes ear bashing.

Sorry I can't help with that part of it. I just have no idea. I'm sure someone on CL will chime in. Just explain a bit better as to what exactly you have an issue with?
