Removing front bumper cover. HELP!!

I have all fasteners out and I think it is clipped in the blind areas like the rear apron is, but I'm not sure. How hard do I need to pull? What direction? How to disconnect headlight hose and wiring harness?
New GT3 front is ready and I'm dyeing to get it on.

Did you pull out the long metal clips near the headlight to bumper area? You can get them out with a long hook/pick, and then pull towards the trunk, and they will slide off.

Got it. A call to the head mech at my dealer gave me the answer. That was the last trick as I already had all other fasteners off. Finishing the install this AM. New GT3 bumper looks *****in. (custom paint job)
