Bumper off :P Much easier that way. It clips in - you need to work from one side round to the other very carefully! Gentle pressure works well.

Alternatively, jack the front of the car up and support it on axle stands, so you can get underneath and to the back of the bumper.

Then it is simply pushing the clips out. Don't forget the screw at either end located at the front of the wheel arch.

i just took out the screws at either side then used a thin screwdriver to pop the first couple of clips out, then the rest just came out with a little pull
