four bolts underneath on the chassis rails, loosen the front ones remove the back ones.

foglights and indicators out.

two quarter turn fasteners just forward of the wheel arches, on the inside!!!

when you pull the bumper off, the pipe for the headlight washers is still attached but is long enough to move the bumper out the way!!

easy!!

I just have 2 hex bolts that bolt up the way from below the number plate area then undo the 2 side clips and my bumper comes off.
Mine will be off soon to fit a rs500 cooler

those 2 hex bolts shouldnt come out as there should be a weld on the end to stop them,if they are forced though this sometimes breaks off, they are for height adjustment really
