Hi all. Thought I may post this as all I've seen is MK 2 replacements which are held in by screws apparently and I couldn't see a post in this forum.
A simple nearside rear bumper reflector needed replacing as someone had hit the back at 1mph
and broke it. I'm no mechanic of small or big things so expected the worse but this is the easier ever job. It's held in by clips and can be priced out of the bumper with a small screwdriver... no screws so no wheel arch liner off! Result, and I even ordered the correct reflector online at Seat replacement parts.
I slotted the screwdriver between the bumper and reflector, pushed it till the reflector bent a little and it popped out. Same on the other end. The new one just pushed in with a reassuring click so it's not going to fall out on the road.
One thing, don't do what I did and not protect the bumper from the screwdriver when you prize it out. It left a small indent. Apart from that, all good and really happy.
Here's some pics of the old one and the new one in situ.
