Default Front Bumper Help!

I wanna take my front bumper out cuz i gonna put new mesh in. I take all the 8 mm bolts but i don't know how to remove the whole bumper. It stuck somehow, I think it like a lock somewhere. Do i have to pull it,push it or remove the fog light?. If anybody know how, please help !!

did you remove the trim piece and unbolt it from the shock absorbers in the front? diagrams below might help.

There are about 10 plastic fasteners. I think there are like 4 underneath in the mouth of the spoiler and the rest are under the trim. There is a pin in each fastener that is not visible until you apply some pressure in the center of the fastener with a small punch. Don’t push too hard because the pins will pop out the back and you might lose them.
