Welcome to the forum

Did the self same job on mine and it really is not hard to do, took me about 15/20 mins to get it off. I could easily do it but to explain would tax my memory and might make it harder than it is for you - one tip though that is when you remove the black plastic sill cover (after lifting and pulling out the square plastic retainers) DO NOT close the boot lid! it is a right bugger to get it open as the car thinks it is still open and the remote lock button therefore will not work even using the key does not always open it.

Hi there, new to forum, allready in trouble. Please Malcolm, if you don't mind, send me the instructions for rear bumper removal (1995 E200) at stefansov at gmail dot com.

And a second question: can the bumper be somehow glued? I was a bit hit in the rear left corner (of my car of course) and the bumper has some cracks, but it is in one piece. If I can glue / weld it some how, it will save me alot of money (new / sh bumper, paint).

Thank you alot for your time

Stefan
