Default What am I looking at? (Bumper Cover removal instructions)

I'm looking up removing the front bumper cover in the XK 5.0 workshop manual, and for the life of me I can't nail down where the bolt/screw in the 2nd diagram shown below is; I can't orient the diagram to the car. It's stupid as it's clearly somewhere at the front connected to the bumper cover, but I can't figure out the diagram.

The first diagram is clear enough, but the 2nd....is the yellow section a part you are pulling away to view the bolt? if so, where is it? Any guidance appreciated!

To me, it looks like the ‘yellow part’ is the wheel well liner in both pictures. First picture you are looking forward, and remove 4 screws. Second picture is from the side and shows, when pulling the wheel well liner back, you expose a bolt/screw to be removed.

Decoding some of the pictures in the manual is a real PITA.

kj07xk is correct, the second picture is looking upward from beside the tire. The tire is the spoked shape in the lower left (I colored it green). The yellow is the wheel well liner you loosened in picture one. The pink bolt is underneath the bumper behind the liner. The gray shape above the arrow is the bumper -- if you follow the curve toward the upper right you'll see the line that separates the bumber from the body panel (I colored that blue)..

I find that using a winch hanging from the rafters also helps with most Jaguar repairs.
