If i remember correctly there are in total 17 screws and bolts. The main ones that i think are the ones you have missed out are the four largest bolts for the bumper. This is a hard one to explain. In the pic below i have pointed out where the bumper slides into the chassis. Under the car there are two holes on each leg that is big enough to slide a socket up on an extension. This is where the bolts are that you need to remove. Two on each. Then the bumper should slide off.

Liam and a few other friends of mine went through this when I had my accident. The difference was we were working on it at 10pm with only a set of skyline headlights to aid us. Great fun!! Especially finding the bolts Ben points out above!!
