Front bumper removal question...ASAP..Job interview tomorrow! :'(
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/114870/untitled.jpg"></center><p>Hey guys...I am trying to remove the front bumper but I cannot yet.
After researching on the forum, this is what I did:
1)Remove the lower grills and fog lights.
2)Loosed the two hex bolts on the bottom of bumper.
3)Removed the 2 bolts near the lower fender well on each side.
4)Pushed down and out on that area and three plastic taps popped out. Shown in the pic.
I know there are more bolts or taps holding the bumper to the fender. I just dont know where to find them. Someone give me some advise?

There are three bolts on the inside of the fenders...
I've found the easiest way is to jack the car, removed the wheels and remove 4 or 5 bolts from the wheel liner. The it's a straight shot up the inside of the fender to the 10mm nuts on the bolts.
Remember to have a bucket handy as your headlight reservoir will drain when you unhook the line.
Good luck.

Rather than remove the tires just jack the car and **** the wheels to one side . .
i.e. to remove the passenger side, turn the wheels to the left, jack the passenger side up a little to provide clearence and then remove all the screws for the liner. Don't remove the liner fully, just loosen it to get your hand in there to take the 3 nuts off for the bumper.
Just did this yesterday to replace a headlight, makes it a whole lot easier to pull headlights if you pull the bumper out just a little, one side at a time.
