Default 991 GT3 Front Bumper Removal

So I went to AutoClub Speedway last weekend and someone placed a cone in front of my GT3 as I proceeded to pass at 100 mph+. Needless to say my front bumper center metal screen and internal center air duct vane has become loose and needs re-alignment.

I am unable to access the loose parts without removing the bumper. Who has experience/tips with the front bumper removal?

Yes its a bumper off job Im afraid. But that being said I believe its very straight forward to remove...

Sorry this happened but hopefully someone can post how to do this. Perhaps an engineer of sorts in CA?

I recommend registering on the PIWIS site, pay $10 for a 1-hour access, and download the bumper removal instructions. It's a bit of a pain, but it works.

A few days ago I did something similar and snagged all the wiring diagrams.

Too bad it's not F1 car simple. When you figure it out, please start a thread on how to. Good luck.
