easy in theory, can be difficult in reality, crawl under the car and locate two large 19mm bolts at either end of the bumper near the tailpipes. if you are lucky these will undo and the bumper will gently pull away. if you are unlucky as in most cases the bolts will have corroded and welded themselves to the ally inserts. you will need to cut through the brackets, remove the bumper, remove the remains of the old brackets from the car, and replace with new jaguar units, about 30.00 per side??, then remove the rest of the old bracket and bolt from the inner bumper while it's off, cover eveything in copper slip and refit bumper with two new 19mm bolts. hope this helps
