8. now you can remove the bumper, try to pull the bumper cover out as evenly as possible. When removing the bumper cover, there's a clip at the front of the fender that will pop out when you do this, make sure you don't scratch the fender/bumper with that metal clip.
This is what it looks like after you remove the bumper, note that the 2 red circles, that's where you screw those 2 screws by the fog lights in step 4. You might have to change the hanger to the ones that comes with your new bumper, since they have different length.
Hi there,
I am planning on removing my bumper like yourself to replace my headlights. I'd like to know where this is located in STEP 8. You mention about a clip in the front somewhere that might scratch the fender/bumper and I want to know where this is located in your picture? I want to avoid the scratching and understand how to put the clip back when I put the bumper back.
Thanks!

it's the clip is located where bumper and fender merges (on top of your side marker), if you pull the bumper, you will notice that

Behind the sidemarkers, but first make sure you push the impact strip toward the front of the car. It should slide at least 5mm or so, then needs a little bit of prying to come unclipped. I used a flathead screwdriver with a towel wrapped around the tip so it wouldn't scratch anything.

Hmm I'm still a little confused... but I guess I'll see what you're talking about when I replace my bumper.
