Rear Bumper removal Problem
I have 2012 SLK200 with AMG trim. I cannot find all of the fixings to remove it. Apologies if this is repeated elsewhere but I am new here and learning the ropes.
Can anyone advise me?

Fixed Bumper Issue
Hi All,
I managed to fix this . There are several plastic male parts moulded into the top of the bumper plastic. These mate with receptacles in mouldings on the body. its a matter of pulling these out carefully, one side at a time . A bit stressful on the plastic ( broke one tab). The AMG fittings are similar to the stock r172 . The MBOC video skips this important stage of the disassembly implying that its jut a question of pulling the bumper off its mounting. Misleading!
happy to discuss if anyone wants information about fitting after market reversing sensors.
