theres 2 8mm nuts inside the wheel wells at the bottom, usually covered in crud.
As for the 2 bolts under the headlights, under the airbox there is a black plastic over your need pop out, that should reveal one, then just look at about the same place on the opposite chassis leg and remove that bolt too.
I'll try get pictures over the weekend.
