Bumper inserts: remove bumper then from behind release clips with a screwdriver.

Door strips are clipped on  :smiley:

Can you not undo these without removing the bumper?

front and back the same applies although there are two extra screws in the middle of the rear valence

remove the two lower screws in each wheel arch

the valences are clipped in - start on one side and grip and rip; you may need a screwdriver to lever the clips out but once you got a couple out they come off fairly easily

No need to remove the bumper  :wink:
