Pretty easy Carl - I've done it more than once! Only complications are in the re-attaching of the engine cover release cable when you put it back on. Fiddly job.
From memory, remove tail lights, number plate bezel. Remove small screws around bottom sides of fascia. Disconnect engine cover release cable. Then two big nuts either side in the engine bay. Leave the ones on the side, you just need to undo the ones on the back side of the fascia. Then it should just come straight off. (Unless you've got a power aerial which is held on through the fascia too).
Think that's it. Sure someone can pipe up if I've forgotten something!
