Easy mate..
remove grille
remove headlights
remove fogs - and/or fog covers if applicable
this will reveal clips
start removing them (small flathead screwdriver)
clips are found are atop and below the bumper skin
where the corners of the bumper meet the fender
reach in and you will feel a bolt. (10mm IIRC)
there is one on each side
remove all of this, give it a little tug
if it's still stuck, there's a clip you have missed
really, it's quite simple

nice to know, cheers guys i'll see how i get on one last thing do the spot covers pull out from the 'front' of the bumper, or from where it goes down the side?
was wondering if it just flexes into place or if you slide the back in and clip the front in?
sorry that doesn't make much sense does it?
basically if i pulled the middle would it safely come free from it's fixings or do you need to prise one end out before the other?
