ive found the torx bolts but i think they just keep spinning.
is this all its held on with plus the two 10mm bolts at each side.

dont have to take the 10mm 's out as once the two torx bolts are out the bumper will (shud) slide off the side mounts,dont forget to disconnect the winkers

i snapped a torx bit in 1 of them.
probly never been took off before and rusted on.

i had that prob with rear bumper,
buy a halfords professional torx socket
or
maybe try unclipping the plastic outer of the inner bumper to get to the bracket bolts

i ended up rounding the torx's on mines so had to take the bumper off by the mounts with the two 10mm headed bolts on each one
