There are 4 nuts in the front, two under the tow hook covers and two just to the inside of each headlight. one clip at each end needs to be released as well behind the fender liner and the bumper will come off.

The 43 is a little different. All he has to do is loosen 4 nuts. Two on the top of the reinforcement bar just behind the plastic black grill in front of the condensor,and the other two are just behind the narrow long plastic piece that sits in the bottom mouth of the bumper where the foglights are located. There are no clips so that makes it even simpler.
