As long as the screws underneath the bumper are not siezed, personaly I would drop the bumper off, really doesn't take that long and less trouble than taking wheels off and moving the wheel arch liner out of the way etc. etc. in my view.

If I remember right I think the fog lights are held in with three screws which you might struggle to get at with just the headlight out, but as it takes about 30 seconds to remove headlight might be worth a shot.

Not to remove them, as they are screwed in from the rear so no access to the screws, just for reference alignment for the lamps is via the two holes under the lower edge of the bumper. Although I think on later cars you may have to remove headlamp to do it.

Just make sure you have the self tapping screw out and give it a good yank it will unclip. Still wouldn't bother taking wheels off, I have changed bumpers on both pre-facelift and facelift cars and never taken wheels off.

Yes mate, as Col said, there is a screw holding the bumper to the wing or bracket inside the wheel well, once removed it will pull away from the clips holding it to the wing, the bumper will need to be held away from the wing whilst you tilt the bumper or it will rub on the wings painted finish- if ya get what i mean.
