Rear Bumper Inner Mk1 Removal

[Ginettamad]

I have bought a magnetic strip Parking Sensor for my rear bumper as I have a tow bar fitted which interfere with the Ultrasonic Types of sensors. I need to remove the black inner bumper to fix the strip behind the plastic outer bumper. Is this possible with the bumper on or do I need to remove the whole bumper to take the inner off?

If so whats involved to remove either the inner or the whole bumper please?

Will everything be rusted solid and a nightmare to remove on a 2001 Gal?

Thanks for all your replies not!

I have now had the bumper off and fitted my electromagnetic strip inside the bumper and it work fine. The parking reversing sensor was connected to the Black & Blue striped wire which feeds the reverse light on one side inside the jack compartment and the other wire to earth. I put the beeper in there too so its all nice and tidy.

Even with the towbar sticking out when i reverse it still gives me a few inches from that once the beeper goes into continuous mode.

Much better than drilling holes for ugly (look at my sensors) ultrasonic sensors a less than
