Viagra?

Not sure how it's fixed, could it just need the connection points tightened? If not, then you're looking at bolts or rivets.

Will jack it up in the air and take the bottom cover off and see what I can see then.

its far easier and you'll have better access if you put the car into lift mode, turn the steering full left and then remove the two torx screws that hold the wheel arch liner in and pull it back. With the wheel turned you can pull it back quiet some distance and look behind the bumper from there.
