Bumper change

Hi all,
I need to swap over a front bumper. Info says I need to drill out the rivets (each side near wheel arch).
Never done this before - any special tools required?
Thanks
Paul

Front or back?
front bumpers are held under the arches by two self tappers each side, plus the four large bolts under the bonnet.
Rears are held with usually unmoveable torx bolts underneath and are held at the sides with push fit plastic clips on the outer side and the turn plug things on the inner wing
cant think of ever seeing rivets on any of them, special tool may involve an angle grinder for the torx bolts

Thanks lads,
you're both right - the rivet is for the spoiler. Friendly mechanic says use a 1/8" bit to drill it out as it's only aluminium.
Cheers
Paul
