It's just pushed onto barbs on the bumper. Bit of a bugger to get off, but a flat blade screwdriver is all you need to prise them off.

How'd you get on? Bit of a bugger? I did it with the bumper off the car and it was still akward them, could imagine it being a right pain with the bumper still on the car.
