what model is it?
on my MY00 you need to take the grill off and the headlights out plus the wheel arch liners
There are 4 or 6 press clips on the top of the bumper 2 under each light you need to unscrew the centre plastic screw from each then you can pop the clips off, this is the same under the wheel arches holding the bumper to the wing, then there are 2 screws under where the fog light are roughly you need to take these out aswell, then the last screw is in the hole in the bumper which screws to the upright bar in front of the radiator. then it should come off.
if it is not any MY00 I have no idea how you do it.

Just behind the head lights you will see two bolts that go down into the support rails, there are then some clips on the arch liners, and I think there are some under the grille.
