| Can someone show me a picture of the rear corner section of a lowlight bumper where it bolts to the body behind the rear wheel, as I am not sure if the bumpers I have are the right ones for the car. |

Pre 66 bumpercorners are longer. You need the top one as shown in the picture.

Don't know if you've put the 3-piece bumper on your Ghia yet, but the only way I can install them is to put them together loose, install and tighten them to the body and brackets, then tighten them up.
I once tried putting it on fully-tightened and could not do it.
Best,
Thom

This forum discussion might not pertain to the year of KG you are working on (and is U.S. bumper related) but I've referred back to Phil's excellent description/photos of the bumper rebuild process several times:
