Default Rear Bumper removal & Sensors

R75 & MG ZT rear bumper removal and sensors.
Earlier this year I decided to change my rear bumper for one which had the sensors fitted below is a pictorial of removal and re-fitting.

Rear bumper with out sensors Fig 1
1

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
2

Centre two should be plastic scrivets either side of the towing loop, Fig 3/4
3

4

Remove the two end self tappers or bolts Fig 5
5

Use mole grips if the head is damaged Fig 6
6

Next remove the two centre scrivets Fig 7/8
7

8

you now need to open the boot and you will see five scrivets along the top of the bumper remove these all but the centre one Fig 9
9

You can now pull and release the side of the bumper fixed to the rear quarter panel by pulling out and towards you at the same time Fig 10/11/12
10

11

12

Repeat this the other side also Fig 14
14

You can now remove the centre scrivet you left in earlier on the top of the bumper Fig 15
15

The bumper will now release from the car if sensors are fitted be careful of the wiring Fig 16
16

The bumper I removed did not have sensors this being the reason for removing, to be changed for one that as sensors fitted. Fig 17
17
make sure you have the connectors in place also Fig 18
18

If you are fitting bumper with sensors like i did you will need to remove the side panel carpet covering,the sensor module Fig 19
19

Replacement bumper with sensors fitted Fig 20

Replacement bumper plugged in before fitting to check the sensors work Fig 21
21

You now need to remove the white plug from the module Fig 22
22

Push on the tag and the holding clip forward to release it Fig 23
23

Make sure it is full pushed forward and down otherwise it will not release. Fig 24/25
24

25

Next remove the rubber grommet from the centre of the rear boot panel, the sensor wiring goes through this Fig 26/27
26

27

You can now thread the sensor wiring with the white plug through the hole in the rear panel of the car Fig 28/29/30
28

29

30

The grey plug will be on the outside of the panel ready to fit into the rear bumper before fitting Fig 31
31

Remember to fit the rubber grommet back in the centre by cutting it open to wrap round the wiring Fig 32
32

Fit the white plug to the module Fig 33
33

Fit the black plug from the loom in the car to the module Fig 34
34

I fitted my module to the side of the car with double sided tape you may want to use the bracket if you have it Fig 35/36
35

36

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
37

Bumper refitted with working sensors Fig 39

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?
