Have you undone the self tapping screws which are accessible from the boot and screw into the rubber bumper ends? There should be two brakets underneath the metal bumper which need undoing, (you only mentioned one) Think this is all that is needed, then you sort of have to negotiaite it of pulling it away from the car so to speak.

When you go underneath to remove it, dont take the bumper of the bracket, take the bracket of the car with bumper still attached, any help? It really not good that i cant remember better how to do it, was only about 2 1/2 months ago I was doing the same! :rasta:
