Gentle persuasion on the fronts - they're just clipped in.
The rears have a screw / bolt at each extremity.

it's far better removing the whole bumper, rather than just the plastic covers.
both the front and rear bumper covers have a lot of plastic revet things behind the trim to hold them onto the bumper.
removing the trim will probably break off most of the clips.

I presumed Matt would be apainting the bumpers as well? In which case the only proper way is to remove the bump strips.
You can ensure the safety of their clips - removal just has to be slow & considered.
