There are three screws that screw into the radiator from the front side (i.e. behind the front bumper) If I recall correctly, the three screws help support the power steering cooler, and the AC condenser.

You have to remove the headlights, the blinkers, the entire front bumper, and the intercooler. THEN you can access the three tiny screws holding everything together.

Lets see, from memory...this wont be exact..

Remove the turbo heat shield, then you can get the radiator fan out.

Remove the plastic under-cladding from the front end, all of that is attached to the bumper as well

remove the headlights, and blinkers.

Unplug the fog lights in the bumper

Impact sensor (I believe that is what it is) in the front bumper, electrical plug in the middle-ish needs to be disconnected

I dont recall off hand if there are any points on the bumper that are attached to the front inner fender well..check for that

You can then access the two bolts holding the bumper on to the front end. Once you have the headlights off you can see them, 2 on either side of center pointing down. 17mm head I believe.

Once those two bolts are out, the entire bumper cover, and inner bumper will come off.

Then you can remove the inter-cooler, remove the inter-cooler hoses, and then there are 2? small bolts holding it on.

The power steering cooler is screwed to the radiator near the bottom.

The AC condenser is set in clips...I dont recall if it is screwed to the radiator or not. The AC condenser needs to slide up some to disengage it from the radiator.

Then you can finesse the radiator out
