I had to replace mine as well. It was so easy.

1= open the boot

2= pull back the carpet

3= remove the plastic panels from the lights (makes it easier to
get to)

4= behind each rear litht you will see two bolds one in front of
the other like this ___:_| ( line on bottom= rear of boot
where lights are, line on the side= side of boot, := the two
bolts)

5= you can loosen the 2 bolts on both sides to adjust the
bumper, or remove the bolts so you can remove the bumper.
One the bolts are removed the bumper will not fall off. It is still
held on by the brackets. At the back of each wheel arch there
may be some screws attaching the bumper to the cover under
the wheel arch. Remove the screws and slide the bumper back.

6= installation is the reversal

See how you go

I was about to loosen the bolts 2 bronze colored ones but my mate told me not to coz that holds the fuel tank in place. is that true coz i dont want my fuel dropin out and the bolts seem far from the bumper how would it hold it coz i tried lookin from the outside trough a gap couldnt see any brackets, how is it held in place the bumper how many brakets or bolts hold it in place.

The two bolts in parallel in the boot behind the light are two you have to remove to take the bumper off.

The bumper has two long brackets holding it in place. They slide into the body of the car and bolt onto the body with those two bolts either side.
