I think you will find the colour coded bits are actually part of the original bumper. The chrome bits fit over these and are stuck in position with double sided tape but you also have to drill / cut slots for the tabs you can see sticking out the back edges of the chrome trims (look carefully at the ebay photos and you will see 3 of the lower ones). It can be done but is not just a clip on job unless you cut the tabs off and rely only on strong tape?
Rear bumper removal is detailed in the FAQ for an S which is similar.
