You forgot the step:

2) Scratch head and wonder how the grille bit comes out, then swear after you pull too hard and break it

Still getting nightmares over that "problem" muddy?

I only broke one of them. Getting the outer rear light clusters out scared me even more.

Should I be asking how much the grilles are for when I get heavy-handed and break one!

I'm with you on the rear clusters buddy, it is scary

I nearly lost it and got the chainsaw out

a little oil on the ball joint thingys and they pop out and in again sweet as a nut

You may have also forgotten the step :

1) Remove the screw holding the grille in place !

Do not get tempted to stuff your hand into the bumper through the hole where the foglight lives, even if your wiring loom springs back in, use a long piece of wire or better still a Seat technician, two things can happen when your hand is in there:
1. Remember how they catch monkeys with the nut in the bottle. Your hand goes in easy enough, but it may never come out.
2. You will almost certainly need surgery to repair whatever digit you rip off on one of the hidden self-tappers holding the bumper on.

So after pulling the foglight out of the bumper, unclip the harness - DON'T LET GO.
