Now I can't remember to be honest but I did remove the rear bumper on my avant to mess about with the valance when trimming it for the towbar cutout on mine but others have said they did not have to remove it, now they may have been saloon or cab owners , I saw a link for youtube aswell but it's no longer available.
i'll double check to see if the link is deffo non active chap.

it's not a five minute job chap, and there are a couple of methods but its a right PITA frankly, have you been able to crawl under the rear bumper to see what the access is like to the plastic clips that hold it on , yep its a trim off job aswell , how much you need to remove is questionable as some guys have managed to remove very little , I ended up taking out a fair bit inc rear seats etc just for an easier job, but did stretch the job out a bit.
