CSL front bumper removal, any help?

[RevUpp]

Maybe sounds like a dumb question, I use to do every single job on my '01 E46 M3 but can't find the way to do this properly without being sure to damage anything, and I never worked on a bumper.

All the info I find is about the original bumper removal/install but these replicas seem to be different... All I know is that the facelifteds have different attaches, mine is a prefacelift, but maybe this doesn't matters with the CSL bumper...

Put the car on small ramps, trying to find underneath any torx or hex bolt, didn't see anything... Also under the license plate...
Maybe the disassemble is from the wheel arches cover?

I know there are different brands manufacturing these CSL bumper replicas, but don't have info about mine... It came already with it when I bought it..

Any light about this? How might I do it, any DIY link?

I did researchs several days, but... Nothing

Thanks in advance

I would have thought all bumpers attach (at least if they're properly made) in the same way as the car itself has it's own means of bumper attachment and I don't see why the aftermarket or anyone would stray away from the chassis bolting points and increase the faff with other means of attaching their bumper to the car.

With the caveat that it's been a couple of years since I had mine off so all that follows is from memory:
There ought to be 2 or 4 screws underneath, I don't think you'd have to remove the large plastic tray but maybe? There's also a screw or 2 towards the front in both wheel arches. Finally the bumper sits on 4 suction cups that might be a bit stubborn but you need to pull. I also think there was some history with the early cars having bolts from underneath/below the licence plate (in a vertical way) to give you an idea what to look for. There are 2 plastic guides for the bumper close to the turn signal so you can't randomly yank the bumper off, it has to slide off towards the front.

You should remove the trim piece below the headlight as there's a small weather strip at the top rear of the bumper that might interfere and make releasing it more difficult for you. Also fog lights need removing, pull away the black plastic surround, remove the 2 screws and disconnect the electric connector.

Thanks for the help!
There are no fog lights, as this is the CSL bumper, but I got your explanations and will take a better look. Maybe I was trying to find these long bolts that hold the bumper at the center underneath the license plate at the bumper plastic itself, and they are more at the inside...

Thanks again Mr.wReckless for your help and explanations
