T44 Bumper Bolts (was 2 Dummy Fog Lamp Inserts Update -- matte black)

[Kneale Brownson]

The 5K/200 front bumper and its integral cover bolt through the bumper
shock absorber system with just two bolts that run vertically.   They have
large Torx heads and are accessible from underneath the bumper cover in
line with the front frame rails.  You remove the bolts and unspring each
bumper cover end from its overlap at the fender wheelwell and the whole
assembly slides forward off the shock absorber ends.
