Xsara Picasso rear bumper removal

I hope this is going to be possible at home.

Please would someone step me through the procedure? I am hoping to be able to fit a towbar I have bought - instructions say to remove bumper first. I've been under and had a look, but I can't see any fasteners at all.

Nearly all PSA bumpers of this era, have two small T20 self tappers shooting upwards at the pointy end of the wheelarch, and inside either the wheelarch or body cavities, two 8mm thread (13mm head) hex bolts - one for each side. Then they'll have three or four Torx screws or 6mm bolts (10mm heads) securing the cross part of the bumper. Look in the boot opening area in case you need to remove a protective cover.
