basically in the join where the bumper meets the front wing there are 2 bolts each side.
if i remember they were 13mm socket, but not sure about the size anymore

you need to take out the lights to access the bolts but even then they are in a bit of an awkward position. no other way to get to them though.
you might be able to get in if you remove the wheel arch liner but thats just another part to remove and put back on in the end

i suggest you remove the fog lights too as they will be keeping the bumper attached when you get so far

Two in wheel arch, two in the wings IIRC. A real pain in the arse, but do-able.

hopefully this will help



main bolts are in the join with the wings
the arrow is kinda supposed to indicate the 2nd one is down the back of a piece that is not visible (thats why i did dotted circles)

the dots on the arch liners are where they clip to the bumper

then at the bottom there are 2 clips
