See if this will help for those that want to install themselves...It's a rear ladder pdf file, but it explains how to remove the bumper cover which will give access to the tow hooks.

Hmm just watched the powerfuluk rear mud flap video last night - looks like its gonna be a bit a frab taking the bumper off for me... after all my bravado elsewhere, I might speak to the dealers to have them do it for when it comes into them for Explorer Pack fitment...

Sanding the edges and adding a fine Rubber epdm U profel at the inside ( to short at the moment)

Result

I will reinforce the flat side under and close it behind later. Make also the oval maybe a little higher
So this took me 2 hrs and I think it looks neat as tempory solution before installing heavy duty undershield protection. No Mud flaps for my 90.!

Dealer fitted my rear ones while doing the towbar. I supplied them. I have just fitted the new front ally plate myself, no bumper removal!

Black or Orange hoops from Land Rover are £34.66 each

Labour time to replace the rear bumper is 1.6 hours. Once the bumper is off its only 4 bolts for each hoop
