dumb q: trying to remove front bumper & fender
this might sound like a bit of a stupid question,but since i have more experience working on FBs,I'm not the most knowledgable person about FCs. Anyways,with my FC,I have some damage to my driver's side front fender due to my door bending it in when I open it after I put the car in a ditch last week or so. I want to remove the fender to bash out the damage and/or replace the panel. It looks like to get the fender off that the front bumper needs to be removed. I have a bunch of as many visible bolts as I can see removed that look like they hold the bumper on,but there must still be more since I cannot get it off. Where are the bolts that I am missing? Included is a diagram with dots on it of the bolts I have removed so far. The ones along the bottom of the bumper are NOT the ones that hold the black strip that goes along the bottom edge of the bumper,they are under the car.
Anyways,thx for the help in advance,I'd like to get this stuff worked out before I get the car on the road. The car also needs some minor TLC bodywise and some paint.

there are 4-5 bolts along the top of the fender
once you take the inner fender lining off theres 3 in the front attatching it to the bumper.
and then theres one over by the door use a long extension and a flashlight so you can see it
there 2 under the car towards the door
and theres 2 10mm and 2 8mm bolts holding the lip to the fender which is also connected to the bumper
and theres one inside the door jamb towards the top
i believe that is all the bolts that need to be taken off in order for you to get the fender off
