Gently remove rear corner pieces and replace.

Agree, best option is to invest in "trim removal kit" commonly found on Ebay and Amazon with apparatus to assist in safely leveraging OEM part off and install.

Yes, using multiple shaped plastic removal tools for the 2020 Defender is a must!
I believe my kit contains ten shapes and sizes, but you still need to muscle some panels off to complete the task and always have a healthy supply of the white plastic clips on hand.

Can I ask which kit you ended up purchasing off eBay and where can we buy spare plastic clips. I’m about to install checker plates as well as wheel arches and looking to save the OEM part in case I get tired of the upgrades.

I purchased plastic tool kit years ago from a local auto parts store.

As for the plastic clips you can purchase them from Powerful UK, but you should have plenty of extra if you are fitting new fender protectors and checkered plates, just remove and reuse the ones from existing panels.
You always end up loosing or breaking at least two per panel.

Regardless of whether the cargo is a gift or not, it must undergo the procedure of customs declaration of imported goods in accordance with the customs legislation of the destination country. Goods are customs declared on the basis of a number of data, such as the country of departure, the value of the cargo and the number of items. The destination of the cargo is not taken into account. If necessary, the cargo is subject to a duty, that is, a type of tax applicable to goods that cross international borders. By the way, it is also possible to track the parcel using https://www.postsendungsverfolgung.c...verfolgung.htm.

Interesting on the duty tax - I have made many purchased from the UK - two separate orders recently from NewDefenderParts.com (rear tire cover and side steps) and never received a bill from DHL.

I also have purchased pricey items from JLR, Rimmer Bros, PowerfulUK -- all the usual parts suppliers overseas (for multiple land rovers, in some cases thousands of dollars of parts in orders) -- and have never once gotten a duty notice.
