    Wings- along the top, inside the door shut near the top of the wing and at the bottom of the wing where it meets the sill.

    bumper, two 8 mm bolts behind each wheel arch liner in the side of the bumper, and one 13mm nut each side in the front bumper also accessed behind the arch liners.

    does that mean i have to take the arch liners off (and wheels in the process) to get to all the front bumper bolts ?

    You can get away with jacking it up and turning the steering, then you can get away with just removing the front liner bolts by the wing, leaving wheels and liner on in the process, bit fiddly but easily do-able, especialy if youv got ratchet spanners.

    ^ Yes. The front on needs the grille removed. It's on the bracket that the grille clips into.
