take the cd changer out, remove the wheel arch liners, and the rear lights, the rear boot seal and the bit of plastic surrounding the hole the boot latches into. After that its probably a load of clips and bolts.

but it is, there is a few clips round the sides of the bumper, and some bolts right in the middle. Just someone who remembers taking one off might have a better idea.

Exactly, someone who actually knows. Don't you think it would be better to leave it for them if you can't add anything of any value to the thread?
