The plastic bit is attached to a aluminium frame by rivets do not drill out. If it's the same as mine there are four bolts holding the aluminium frame to the front sub frame and four under the front of the bump/skirt.

If that makes sense!!

I'm sure it's covered in the Haynes manual, in fact I'm certain

Took me as long to remove the sump guard as it did to do the oil and filter change with the number of bolts it is held on with.

cut a suitable sized hole in undertray to allow access to sump plug. simples
