You need to grip the bumper near the wheel arch (right on the edge) and pull backwards, it should unclip and then fall forward. Make sure you have someone holding the bumper, or something underneath so you don't damage it.

Perhaps a search next time? Here.

Just for future reference the two screws behind the number plate can stay on...well, they can on a series 2 Calais anyway
