If it were mine and I didn't want it I would unclip the complete rear tread plate from the bumper and stick it on the bay, and replace it with the standard one. The trim is held on with 3m tape and some sort of adhesive.

The plastic strip that the Treadplate is fixed to easily unclips from the bumper though

Ive traded out of it...it's done nearly 20k miles since October, and whilst it hasn't missed a beat, I've been offered a stonking deal on a MY2013 HSE Lux. It's a case of protecting my investment, and now is the right time to change. Foraging near Gaydon....

Hits a bit extreme, you may not like the Treadplate but to replace the whole vehicle

Just to update this thread...following the advice in the video provided above by Aero_383, I can happily confirm that with a bit of patience and a heat gun, this Treadplate came off easily. Further, so did the rear Latch finisher, as well as my exorbitantly expensive LR Sill Treadplates front and rear. So to say that I am feeling pretty chuffed about it all is an understatement
