Question GTS Front lip trim removal

Need some help!
I've had my GTS for a few months now, but the previous owner must have bumped the front middle lip/trim ever so slightly as there's a little bulge in it - it's been doing my head in so I'm going to pay the £250 for a replacement.
Only thing is, I can't see an easy to way to remove it. Has anyone done this before?
It all clips in by the lack of fixings anywhere, but I don't know how much of the front I need to disassemble to get at it.
It's the central bit that i've badly highlighted below.

As noted, not quite the correct forum area, but still and all, your first step would be to remove the bumper cover. Once it’s off, I suspect that the trim attachment will be readily apparent.
