Yes, I believe so, it says in the Haynes manual which I really recommend buying.

I believe (on a standard bumper) it's the 2 screws on the slam panel, then any on the wheel arches etc the reason I know is I might be getting some new headlights and needed to know.

lol you can't do any harm in trying. After you've unscrewed the headlight bolts, if it won't move, you know you've got to do something with the bumper.

i took my gsi bumper off to fit depo smoked lights when i had my corsa. But the haynes manual says drop to 2 main hanging points near the grill and pull on lights to unclip ( after light fitting screws are removed ) however i took whole bumper off for ease to be honest

That is how I read it too and will be fitting Depo's, hopefully, sometime in the future probably never.
