Bumpers are two large female Torx bolts up under the bumpers each end of the car, in line with the chassis rails. Remove these then pull.
Mirrors are remove small triangular plastic trim inside car. (May have tweeters housed in them). These just pull off. Mirrors held on by three bolts, and there is a plug and socket for the electrics just tucked down the top of the door.
