You can start here - there are a couple differences in removing the bumper I believe with the European models - but the winch plate should be pretty much the same I think.

I recently modded my stock bumper, adding in a winch.
Here's the end result:


I did a bit of a writeup on my blog site as well...

It's a bit of work, but take your time, and it'll turn out!

I think your bumpers are a little different than ours, but I bet the guts underneath are the same, so you should be able to mount it. If not, a hitch mount plate is always an option.
