Dead easy. 2 torx screws on each wheel arch, one on the arc itself (where mudflap would go) one under the bottom. 4 or 5 plastic pop out clips under rear valance. Open boot and I think 5 screws under the oval screwcaps. Once removed, the ironwork is self-evident if you`re replacing that.

Yep, easy enough, your hardest job may be sourcing a replacement the right colour, or respraying.

I can easily do 10 minutes with a fixed witter! Facelift is a torx, top edge in wheel arch. A torx at the bottom underneath at the wheelarch. 4 pop caps under bottom edge of the bootlid with torx screws beneath. Below are 2 plastic push pins, push the pin out of the centre and pull the square cap out. Pop the edges out at the wheel arch and they drop, then pul from the rear back an inch then lift up twisting to clear the pikey hook :y
