Remove front bumper cover

I'm having a problem on my 97 320sl.

There are side brackets that unscrew and a row of snaps along the front bottom. But the front top area is still held by something I can't spot.

Can anybody help?

Thanks so much Bob.

That nut #5 was what I couldn't find. Now got to find a wrench that can get to it.

Bob,

I need to remove the front bumper of my SL R129, year 1992. I can not find the middle nut. How can I reach this nut from above of from under the car?

Thanks

Open the hood and access from top. There should be two nuts there between the radiator and the inside of the bumper right in the middle.
