look under the bumper and you will see 2 bolts. Remove bolts first then bumper 8)

there are 2 T55 torx bolts on the bottom of the bumper.
Just undo them and it slides off.

if they are mega tight i find it easier to take of the 4 13mm nuts off the dampers and slide them out with it. i think3 are underneath and 1 in the boot. look at the end of the chassis legs. after have one of the nuts snap and spin on the long torx bolt. i learnt from it. that was a bugger to get out! :mad:
