2 screws in the middle if I can remember

unclipped it at the sides

Hopefully not by force?

You should half undo the top bolt, then push it back in and then continue undoing it.

This moves a slider mechanism that unlocks the bumper from the wing.

Make sure the slider is in the correct place upon re-assembly.

Sorry if you already knew.
