Default How to remove front bumper cover on 2006 VDP? FAQ

I have a 2006 VDP and I'm trying to remove the front bumper cover. I do not have radar cruise control and I also do not have front parking sensors. I do, however, have the front lamp washers (I hate those damn things, will probably unplug the fuse at some point!).

Does anyone have photos, a diagram, or a how-to guide of how to do this?

I have this, but I don't really understand it! I see 4 places where it looks like it's attached at the top, and then I guess a few fasteners are shared with the undertray?

FANTASTIC! Thank you so much!

I have a chip in my front bumper (3x3") and I figured I can remove the bumper cover and sand it down/prep it myself and then just take it to a paint shop and have them paint it for cheap. How much can I expect to pay?

Just removed my fog lamps as neither was working - all T screws rustted in and needed drilling out. Will replace with new clips and stainless steel bolts all well coated in wax! Both bulbs were blown and as these are pigs to change without removing the unit, I expect previous owners just couldn't be bothered. somehow I like everything to work on my cars.
