Default Fender removal
Can someone give a quick tip on the best way to get to the hidden bolts on the fenders? Like the one to the front bumper.

do it from below. Take the side access panel off from underneath the nose and it's not too bad at all

That sounds good. I was afraid someone was going to say remove the headlight assembly.

no need, but it helps if you turn the lights on so the bucket raises.

All you need is a LONG extention from underneath-you do not have to have the headlights up.

It helps to have the headlight up to remove the three bolts holding the fender on beside the headlight. Manually raise the headlight as they will go down after 15 mins, even with the car turned off. Or, if they are up, you can leave them up by unplugging the battery.
