Hi.

I have a vague memory of something lurking behind the mud flaps if you've got those fitted.

Good Luck.

PS I've just realized that your tourer is in the best colour - but I might be biased

There are no screws as standard behind the liner just one at the bottom of the bumper by the wheel. If you run your fingers along the bumper base towards the front you,ll feel it see pic below.

As above

The sides of the bumper pull outwards from the side of the car to release the snap clips which can take quite a tug to dislodge them , The slots you can see in that bumper removal video is the fastening's which go in the clips
