i assume you mean front bumper?
easy - theres 4 screws under the bonnet that hold the plastic top on.
2 nuts inside the wheelarch - there is 2 gaps in the arch liner so you can get them - 1 each side
remove all that and you can slide it of.
if you want it totally off youll need to get under the car and release the springy clip screw things too - think theres about 6 of them.
so basically remove all the screws and bolts, pull the bumper away from the car on each side above the wheel - itll make sense when you do it, then lift the top bit of the bumper that sits under the bonnet up and away from the car and it should just release

thanks all the same though

pretty much everything on the c2 comes off easily, at most it'll be a couple of bolts and a good pull

haha i know what u mean when i had it i had i bought it brand new and the day after i got it some idiot pulled out in front of me i must have only been goin 5mph and all the front fell off looked like id been hit by a train
was just wanting to clarify that its not too difficult or got any hidden extras ie having to take everything else off to replace it before pulling this one off
