Angry WIFE HAS DAMAGED NEW CAR :(

Hi all got home from work and the wife has backed into someones car.The cars is only 3 months old and has only done 1800 miles
On the plus side it is only the bumper that is cracked so i have ordered a new skin from Subaru which was only 124.89 + vat.Not bad from Subaru.
Anyway my question is do you have to take the rear lights out to take the old bumper off and are there any bolts or is it just held on with clips.Any advice about the bumper would be great.

THX Mike

I know the front bumper is just held on by clips and apprrently they are very easy to break off. Do you have a friendly contact at a dealers to ask?
