I need to remove the front bumper (skin) on a 2008 AERO. Any clue as to where the various screws/bolts/clips would be much appreciated.

I must stop the wife mithering me when I'm reading posts !! This is for pre 2008 but may be similar....

It's only a bumper cover. 2 x 8mm screws at bumper/wheel edge each side, all the clips than run along the bottom edge underneath...push in centre (thats what the little lump on the factory supplied screwdriver handle is for) and pop them out.... once out push the centre back through the clip so it's proud and for refitting push the clip back in the hole and then push the centre pin flush to lock it ! ( Clear as mud)!!

Also the top 3 clips which you access by lifting the bonnet. Once all that is done gently but firmly pull the nearside and offside edges away from the car .... they are firm so don't be too gentle ! This will give you access to the headlight washers and pipes which you can unclip befor removing the cover from the car.
