I might also add to this: Don't throw any parts away. Everything there is for a very good reason.

For anyone wishing to remove the rear bumper, for such things as fitting an aftermarket exhaust, follow this simple guide...
Steps
- There are four bolts along the very top of the bumper. You need to open the boot to see these, and they are simple to access. The following picture shows the location of the bolts...
- Either side of the bumper, there are three bolts (each side). They bolt down through the wing and through the bumper (remove rear lights, and you should see them on the lip of the wing/bumper). Although the one closest to the wheel is a little difficult to access.
- Finally, there are two under the exhaust mesh - in each corner. The following picture shows the approximate location of all fixings. The red dots are definite, and the green ones are probable (anyone confirm?). Also, you may have to undo the bolts that hold the small wheel arch liner pieces in place at the back of the arches...
