You can literally push down on it and moves by about an inch scythe while of the back of the bumper. As you can see from the picture it’s had a tow bar fitted and I’ve read that often clips are snapped in the process. Can anyone advise on what parts I need to order before I take the bumper off. Any images or links to part numbers would be great. Thanks in advance!
