no video but i just removed it again the other day.

wheel wells - in each wheel well there is ONE screw (10mm) holding the edge of the bumper to the fender. right below that is one clip. remove these two on each side and you're done with the wheel wells.

engine bay - you need to remove the clips that hold the plastic cover above the bumper. once you remove that cover there are a few screws to remove. you'll be able to tell which ones hold the top of the bumper to the frame.

Under carriage - because I've had some work done on the front i can't tell if they were clips or screws but you'll be able to tell which ones hold the bottom of the bumper to the under lining.

Once you have all of that removed, you can start to pull the bumper off. use some force and a friend to help you take it off from the wheel well. DO NOT take it off all the way yet. once you have detached the bumper a bit, look down and you'll see the connection for the DRLs. unplug one on each side and then remove bumper completely.

good luck!
