Just wondering if anyone has an idea of how to do this? Preferably without removing the bumper or grill if possible.

Done some extensive research on this already but can't really find whatI'm looking for. Any info would be a great help!

You need to remove grill otherwise you will not succeed, bumper no need!

Hi again Gunnark!

So it is possible to remove the grille without removing the bumper? Am i correct in saying I need to remove the plastic trim under the bonnet to do this?

Yes and yes...but it is pain in a.s to remove chrome trim:(...why you need this, just paint over if chrome trim still attached!

Yeah I suppose a lot of masking wouldn't go a miss. Always a bit dubious about spraying stuff while still attached because of overspray etc. I did see a picture of the back of it with the 20+ clips holding it on. I would probably break at least half of those :wiggle:
