Re: front bumper
There are several screws and two bolts holding the front bumper on.
There are plastic wheel arch liners that need to be unscrewed from the bumper...at least two or three screws on each side.
Check underneath each corner as there may be plastic panels held on here via a couple of self-tappers on each side.
There will then be two M8 bolts (13mm spenner required) holding the bumper via two receiver tube / box sections.
Once you have removed the two bolts and the self tappers, the bumper should slide off...remember there is a rear slider receiver block on each wing as well...these get full of crud and can get bound up...don't get over zealous pulling off the bumper as you can snap / break either the receiver mouldings or some of the mouldings inside the bumper.
The air intake is not physically attached to the bumper...it just nestles behind it so that airborne debris isn't asjust sucked staright in.
If I remember correctly, there are three bushes holding the air receiver box / filter housing on...one may be hidden from view..have another look.
Once you have released all three mountings, then you just need to pull the air pipe complete with the air-filter housing back out of the bumper aperture...It is just a push-in fit.
