Question Can't remove front bumper

I have followed all of the instructions from this video:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_yZT5NrD7E

which are the same as the ones from WIS except the video doesn't mention the extra 2 bolts behind the fog light mesh. I believe there was something done to the bumper before I bought the car from the owner which he didn't tell me about because I have those 2 bolts missing behind the fog light mesh and I have found some zip ties which were used instead of the plastic clips and now the bumper won't come off. The thing is, I cannot find a high resolution photo where I can see what an OEM bumper with no modifications looks like, so I am asking you guys if you can help identify what was done to it so I can remove it in order to take out my headlights. Here are some pics that describe what has been done so far:

EDIT:
I have managed to remove it, there were some extra bolts not found in any video or manual, it must have been some kind of a DIY
