Default Replacing Bumper Trim

Ever since I bought the car two years ago, it's been missing a portion of its bumper trim. Finally found somewhere selling the right rear trim by itself and not the entire trim so I can finally replace it.

But now I realized replacing it isn't quite so straight forward. It appears you have to screw in the trim from the inside. Any thoughts on the best way to go about doing this?

Thanks for any input!

Hey mate
If u remove the plastic inner guard from the rear wheel arch
U will be able to see the nuts to get to them
At the worst from underneath the car
Use a good penatrine spray on the bolts
There 10mm head
It's not that hard

Hope that helps

That helps a lot, thank you! Wouldn't have thought of that on my own probably, I was thinking going through the license plate hole.
