Yes but it's very easy. You need to remove the body coloured frame, but leave the grille on that.
Two big screws on the sides of the frame, and four small ones along the top you'll see when you open the bonnet. Job jobbed. Instagram: l90andy

As above. It's easy, even I have done it.

I've just changed my bumper. Search Youtube I found a really useful video from PowerfulUK I think, shows every step. Really easy after watching it.

The bumper has funny captive nuts on bottom. James

Not air con, but remove grille with surround and then follow video  James

You will probably find the small screws on the top of the grill are rusted through so best replaced with stainless. The bumper bolts retaining plate will also be rusted through, but again stainless or oem replacements are cheap. Check before you start and have replacements ready!

Does anyone recall the bumper bolt size? The washers on the top of mine are badly rusted and could do with swapping out for some nice stainless ones.

Thanks - off to look for some stainless M10 3mm x 30mm flat washers - the original galv on mine did not last very long.

I got the Britpart bolt kit, it's decent enough quality, and comes with plastic caps to go over the bolt heads.

If however you don't intend fitting a winch or mounting recovery points on the bumper then stainless is probably the way to go.

Just new stainless washers ordered - couldn't find the exact right size so settled for some Form G A4 ones that come in at M10 x 30mm x 2.5mm from Kays Fasteners.
