front one has to be 'peeled off' from one end. obviously you need to remove the two ends before the centre section can be removed as these are in the way.

as with 90% of clios they're attached with the plastic triangular wedges that lock into the bumper. to get out its difficult to describe as you have to force a blunt knife inbetween the top of the insert, and the recess into the bumper. you can then, in effect, push the wedge down and force it out.

difficult to describe, but once you've done one it'll fly off. the only difficult part is pulling it forward so that you can see where the little lugs are (they run all the way across the top and bottom)

back bumper has two screws at the top, and then the same little lugs across the bottom.
