Which one? The one with the S on it? It's easiest done taking the bumper off tbh. Take the two clips out of the top and pull it. But theres much more chance of breaking it with the bumper on, take it off and you can ease the back out while pulling it. :) Welcome to the site btw! :wave:

Very. Torx bolt near the wing, 4 torx bolts under bonnet, a torx bolt behind the grilles near fog lights, 4 screws underneath bumper, pull sides of bumper off the wing. ;) Jobs a good un.

oh and you'll have to take all the torx screws out of the splash guard that goes into the bumper! forgot them! The hardest ones are basically the ones hidden behind the grilles near the fog lights. You should be ok. ;)

A little tip I'd add... is when doing it if you turn your wheel to one side it makes removing the splashguard ones a little easier - not so tight! :)

I just remembered as I am removing mines tomorrow to look at fitting a larger screenwash bottle - but I'll remove my wheels as I'm bringing my front coils down more! :D

the hardest one on the bumper is vy far the stupidly placed screw in the arch. The one thats got a plastic lip around it that u just cant get out! takes ages.
