If being used as a replacement, and the old one is of no use, you could prep the bumper for removal by loosening off the bolts and screws, then upon arrival swap them out. With the old one, take it to a recycling depot on the way home? (although removal of old indicators (remove fogs before leaving) and any grilles you want may require power tools to complete quickly.

Reading that again, yes it will go in a saloon, not if you are wanting to use the front seat.
A passenger, could possibly sit behind you though.

Somehow I don’t think my missus will be very impressed being crammed in the back with a bumper from Scunthorpe to Romsey.

Yes it will and you can still use the front seat...
Lower both rear windows, thread the bumper in one window then out of the other one, put the windows up just enough to hold the bumper in place and away you go. The bumper doesn't even exceed the width of the car so all is good, done it a few times

But in you saying that, reminds me of a woman, a taxi driver no less too (!) picking up some 78" lourve doors from me (in my old job) and loading them into her Peugeot 406 saloon out the rear windows. I did suggest she fold down the seats (and offered to help). I refused to help her put them into the rear windows though. So she slid them in, and wound up the windows to wedge them, didnt secure them in any other way, and off she went!
