Default Turbo bumper cover removal?

How do you get the bumper cover off the reinforcement for a turbo. I got the stuff to convert my S but they are still together and I need to separate them for painting, etc. I did a search but found nothing.

Not sure what the question is. Can you post a pic of what you are trying to do?

I can't post a pic right now but I am trying to get the rubber bumper cover off of the alum reinforcment and bumper shocks. It is the front bumper from a turbo.

If you mean the metal bumper thing, the nose is just held to it with clips.

The front bumper cover slides on to the aluminum bumper, and is held on by bolts in the fender. (just above and in front each sidemarker)

The easiest way to take it off, is to remove both front wheels, remove both fender wells, and then you can easily access the bolts inside.

Before you completely slide the bumper off, disconnect the turn and fog lights, and make sure none of the black intercooler or rad ducts are bolted to the bumper.

It takes a lot less time to do than you would think.
