Rushing, you have to take out the rear carpet, the one that goes up to the rear lights, & you will see 4 nuts & 4 large washers, these need to be removed. Then there are the 5 or 6 normally rusty screws underneath that are screwed into rubber mounts ( think there called scrivetts ), which you normally have to grind off, or possibly get someone to push rubber out from the top whilst turning from underneath, thats how we did it anyway !

Mine was also held on by a wing nut/bolt either side of bumper.This can be located by removing wheel arch mud flap!
Five bolts screw through into boot,can be seen when carpet is removed and four screws either end of valance.As Paul says these do take some removing.
Dave off this site as done some in stainless which you can purchase from him.
