on the front there is a bolt(13mm head) just in front of the wheels (top corner)

and at the rear there are 2 torx bolts in the boot and a 1/4 turn clip in the top corners just behind the rear wheels

If just spinning, as is normal, grind head off, turn plastic piece in "winglet" 1/3 turn and then just push out.

I take it you are on about the fron bumper

well if it was me i would drill out the rivets behind the bumper insert and the ones on the under side oh and the 1 in the end then you can get the bumper off and then get to work on the spinninng thread
