and in the correct order of things just to make this job a little more straightforward. Info from someone who has already done this would be real helpful. Many Thanks. Ken

It really is easy and straight forward.
There are bolts underneith near the air dam and accross the top rear fasica.
Remove the squarish underneight black plastic panel.
Disconnect wiring for side and fog lights.
Here's the trick. At the front of the fender ...it bolts to the facia with maybe 10mm nuts. Use a flex head quarter dive and long extension.
Once the nuts are loose and before final removal, tape the area of the fender (exterior) near these nuts and studs to avouid the studs scratching the paint.
That's just from mememory...it really is easy and straight forward.
Watch you bumber to fender alignment on re-assembly.
Excuse any typos please.
