R55 Clubman rear panel removal?

Anyone have instructions for removing the painted part on the top part of the bumper?

I'm interested too...

I've been looking at it and it looks like it's gonna require a rear bumper removal. You can peek under the car and see that it's held on by clips.

I think the top 4 pieces are pretty straight forward. If you open the doors up you'll see the majority of the bolts. I *think* you may need to remove the 3rd brake light trim which is another 8 torx screws. In typical MINI fashion there might be some hidden ones, but I don't think there are.

This is all just speculation as I haven't been able to find any instructions but I plan on swapping because I have a customized set in the works.

Attached is what the BMW TIS manual says about bumper trim removal. The DVD manual is available from eBay (search for BMW TIS), and a NAM member was also offering it. It covers the R55.
