Ive done it, only took the 2 bolts off on the slam panel and it was enough to be able to bend the bumper a bit so I could get the grill in without removing the whole thing! :thumbs:

Cant see the facelift being any different to the pre 97 ...

There are 9 screws holding the front bumper on :

2 * 8mm at the top of the bumper , open the bonnet to see them.

3 *8mm under the bumper

1 * 8mm at each corner of the bumper (underneath - meaning five in total underneath )

1 * 10mm under each arch , where you open a flap to get to it . This "screw" is actually a plastic nut and really hard to put back on !!

This pic shows roughly where the screws are :

Is it just a few bolts and how many and where? Want to take it off cos Ive got a new grill for it and managed to get the old one out with a struggle but the new one is that good a fit that I cant get it on while the bumper is on the car! :lol:
