There is 2 10mm bolts on the inside of the wings (one each side of the car) and then there are 4 13mm bolts on the inner wing/chassis leg (2 either side) you might also have some will clips around the bottom of the bumper to the valence, these are easy to undo and self explanatory. :)

I might sound like a royal tit but have you not bought Haynes manual, they are the bog basic to most things that are needed on a Nova.

I would also follow SR-Rally's method... Theoretically the bumper should slide off but the guides are often stuck fast so its best just to undo the 10mm bolt either side, plus the four 13mm bolts to remove the bumper along with the L-shape brackets

wow, you lot must like smashed knuckles, i find the 4 13mm in the arches are always rusted to feck
