......still the wing removal is good.

I think behind the grills is maybe too low down for the bumper bolts, if you have the black plastic inserts either side of the number plate, which are possibly quite long, they will be behind them, it was my Coupe i took the bumper off, hence indicators and fogs being removed.
Hope this is some kind of help

You can remove the vertical bolt 26 on each side to unbolt the bumper

WOW that's very different to the Coupe.

Good job you came along

Yeah different from a coupe, the 2 bracket bolts bolts are still there onto the shell on each side, but a different bracket, and clips from the wing to bumper. You do see some 80s with foglights, but no bumper indicators.

You pull the grills 22 and 23 out to get at the allen key bolt that points up.

Bumper unclips from the wings, 15 is the clip bolted to the wing.

Older cars often seem to have a collection of self tappers of one form or another in the wing/arch liner/bumper from previous "repairs".

I would leave 2 bolts in the top of the wing in the engine bay until you are sure you have removed all the others, its easy to forget about the one down at the sill and then crease the wing.

Now that i would agree with especially the last sentence which is crucial and the only one i felt needed mentioning,the rest is easy.
