Rear bumper brackets

Post by Dan1502 » Fri Mar 14, 2014 12:11 pm

I'm giving the X5 some TLC at the moment as per other posts referring to wheels, tyres and the badge.

Just after I finished a detail last year my wife managed to lightly scrape the rear bumper despite the sensors.

Also, ever since I have had it I think or possible since the towbar was fitted the gap between the bumper and body has been slightly off.

So I'm planning on having the bumper resprayed and rehung.

Unless unecessary I would like to buy new fixings for rehanging the bumper (the plastic part).  Does anyone have experience of this and which parts I should order?

The Realoem diagram is at the following link:

Bump.  Does anyone know which of the fixings I should order or whether it is unecessary to replace them to solve the sag?

Can you upload a pic of where the bumper isn't sitting right? I have a feeling you won't need fixings...

It's dark now but I will do tomorrow. It just tilts down a bit towards the rear I think.
