and then it cracks.........

just prey no old dear nudges the back bumper

Howd you get the back bumper off?

with both arches attached?

are your arches blended to the skirts, or under them, so you need to remove them too

if it gets damaged.....

id rather pay to fix 1 rear bumper over bumper + arches + skirts....

Its your car, just think its not very practicle.

Why didnt vauxhall design it like that in the first place???
