These one is hiden behind the wheel well liner. Torx T-25. This is the only one behind the liner.(Used to be 3 on the 996 & 993). DONOT forget this on your reassembly. Insure you do these first (on reassembly before installing the wheel well liner).

I think this is the trickiest to remove. These clips(one on each side) can only be see if you remove the head lights. They are inside the headlight cavity, inboard. They lock the bumper cover onto the car. You have to pull these clips from the trunk/bonnet. Pull inboard. See next pictures.
