Default Anybody taken their 951 bumper cover off?

I'm doing a 951 front bumper conversion, I've got everything including fenders etc. and its all mounted up except, as I understand it, the bumper cover should attach to the inner bumper bar with 2 bolts somewhere near the center. I can't see any holes or attachment points. Even though the bumper seems to be solidly mounted to the fenders I would like to do it right. Anybody taken there 951 bumper cover off?

I think you have the turbo bumper confused with the N/A bumper (which is attached just as you described).

OK, fair enough, I'm just going by what Clark's Garage website states:

Tools:

Phillips Head Screwdriver
Metric Socket Set
Floor Jack and Jack Stands

Procedure:

Raise the front of the vehicle on jack stands.
Remove the belly pan.
Remove the trim panel from the bottom of the bumper cover.
Remove the turn signals and fog lights.
Using a 10mm socket and ratchet, remove the bolts located on either side of bumper cover that attach it to the front fenders.
Remove the two bolts near the center of the bumper cover (10mm). They can be located by looking up between the bumper cover and A/C condenser.
Slide the bumper cover off the front of the car.

Its those 2 bolts between the bumper cover and A/C condensor I'm not sure about.

I've had my cover off and on enough. The cover is more or less a slip fit onto the bumper. As stated previously, it attaches to the fenders with 3 bolts a side. There is also 2 mounting provisions on each side of the radiator, down low. Get all 8 of those bolts firmed up and it's a good, sturdy fit.
