Default ever remove front bumper cover/nose cover?

has anybody ever removed the front bumper cover and nose panel?
my 951 front looks like it has been beaten with a shovel in some places,
so i purchased a new/used front and nose and will be replacing it before
painting.
any advice to help me with this project?
does anyone know anything special that i should watch out for before i start
pulling the front off?
i finally got most of the engine somewhat solid,now it seems like a good time to
make my 951 look better.
thank you,
rolf

look around the bottom of it for ten mm bolts holding it on, then there are two on each side from the bumper to the fender in the front, just turn the wheel to access them. It slides off besides that.

Clarks Garage. All the steps, all the hints, all the time.
When you are half way done, it should look like this:

Its a Rotary - hydraulic, 120V, 24" lift [which is all the headroom I have in my garage]. Snagged it when it was being thrown out after a local dealership finished a massive extension to their service bays. Rocks my world, because the car goes up for wheels, brakes, and bolt checks after every race. Could never go back to jacks and stands. Flat out spoiled!
