Mk1 tourer rear bumper treadplate

Hi all
I have to remove the treadplate to deal with some rust at the edges.
Does it just pop off, or is there some fiendishly clever way of doing it. I don't want to damage anything
Many thanks
Geoff

Mk 1 is just the same, ease it up carefully and evenly to withdraw plastic tabs from the clips that hold it down.
