I wanted to remove this and my initial attempt failed miserably. I removed all the philips head screws but it didn't seem to want to come off.

So I don't want to remove the entire bumper. Just the rear "bib" which is fitted as part of the sport bodykit.

Has anyone managed to do this?

I don't do much off-roading but want to remove it as I want a tow bar fitted.

So why are you removing it for a towbar? You can fit a towbar and keep the skirt. You have to cut a section out like you have to do on the normal bumper, but LR do a cover for the skirt if you are fitting a detchable towbar.

I would leave it on, because it will look odd if you have the rest of the kit fitted and you remove the rear skirt. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

So does anyone know how I can remove the lower rear bib spoiler? I have many reasons why I want to remove it. Not just for the benefit of having a towbar fitted. I'm also curious as to what it would look like.

Can't help you other than go to the 'Topix' site http://topix.landrover.jlrext.com/topix/vehicle/lookupForm

Enter details, then click Owner (top right)/Accessory fitting Instructions (on the left)/Styling/Body Kit and look at the diagrams and fixings.

Thanks. I'll take a look later.

If you want to know what it will look like, just have a look at every other Freelander that doesnt have the body kit. They are held on by the screws that you have removed, plus 3M double sided tape. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather.

Not strictly true. I only want to remove the lower rear bumper bib and leave the rest of the kit on. So I want to know what it'll look like, etc and in my colour. Then think about a towbar.

Like I say I removed the screws but it wasn't for coming off so wondered what are the steps to remove safely.

So you are saying that you want to see what a Freelander looks like with all the kit except the rear skirt?

It'll look silly if I am honest, but I don't think you will find someone who has this set up on their car. Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

I just want to know what it'll look like. I just wanted to learn of the steps necessary to achieve this.

It kind of starts just below my rear parking sensors. If it looks odd I'll pop it back on. It's only a bit of trim at the end of the day.

I guess nobody on here knows how to go about doing this then?

It's only been a few hours since you first posted bobo, give folk a chance

When tape was mentioned I thought you were joking. How do I know where the tape will be?

As EY said, look on Topix and it shows you exactly where the tape should be....
