R75 & MG ZT rear bumper removal and sensors.

There are four fixing points under the bumper two centre and one each end at the rear wheels

Rear wheels end should be a self tapper or 10mm bolt Fig 2

Plug the wiring into the bumper and refit the bumper using new screws or bolts if you can the centre scrivets should be ok to use Fig37/38

Tidy up in the boot job done cheers Arctic

Hi Arctic.

I don't have sensors in my bumper either. And I would like to change it for one that has sensors. I think I have the little black connector from fig. 19.
However, I don't seem to have anything in the front. Do I need something in the front? Like a LED display or something? Or does the unit in the back do all the work?

jut the thread I need as I will be doing this very job in the next couple of months.
Thanks Artic
