Anyone have diagrams for front bumper removal on 2012 CLS63?

I want to install my Escort 9500CI myself and access to mount the shifters and radar unit is the hardest part and would be a lot easier if I remove the bumper cover and that is the only part I am unsure about. I know I can do the work but really don't want to break clips or other parts because I don't know where they or the access screws are located.

Hopefully someone can help out here.

Thanks.

Doing the install myself as well and already have the components in my garage. Where are you planning to install the display and control unit? The center console appears to be a bugger from what I'm hearing.

I am either going to pull out the coin holder and put control unit there or put both pieces in the glove box like on Rock's install. I just bought the Mid-City Engineering interface piece that integrates the display into your instrument cluster for a very clean install.

Just went by my dealer and spoke to shop foreman and he showed my diagrams on WISnet and I think I am up for tackling the bumper cover removal myself. There is just not enough room to work with to get the shifters and radar unit mounted.

I may just bypass the center console and control unit in the coin holder idea and just put in glovebox since I ordered the interface from Mid-City. Seems like a much easier install that way.
