Welcome to the Forum. It sounds like you have all the screws, there are no other places they are fitted, although I think there are 8 on the underside. It sounds like you may need to make sure the sides are pulled away from the wheel arches before the bumper can be pulled away. Don't forget to disconnect the fog lights.

Can I raise this issue again please

Hi everyone still determined to keep my 55 plate FR for many years to come because its definitely going to be a classic in years to come
Now to this problem.
Recently fitted a new front headlight bulb and some weeks later discovered it had exploded leaving debris in the lamp.

To remove the debris I want to take the headlight out and seem to be having a problem doing so.
I have removed the inner wing on the passenger side and will do the same to the drivers side but I cannot see the bolts for the bumper.

I have also removed the 6 plastic fittings under the bonnet that holds the plastic strip on.

the other bolts I have removed are two that sit behind the fog light grill and the two Philips screws that are underneath which go into the engine cover.

Can anyone tell me what bolts and screws I am missing to remove the bumper.

The other thing I have noticed is that the headlight bulb wiring is different on each side.

On one side the red wire is on the top and the brown underneath but the other side its the other way. Is that correct.

On a positive note at least the weather is great for working on the car rather than when I normally do it which is in the depths of Winter.

Any help offered will of cause be appreciated.
Do you Haynes will ever publish a manual on our car.

I might be taking the bumper off tomorrow if the weather is ok so will take some pics, but when you take the wheel arch off ,you should see 2x10mm bolts on each side. You might have to remove washer container to acces 2 of them. You will need socket on extension.
