Just replaced my front grille without removing front bumper, by following your excellent guidance. Much appreciated! :-)

Glad it helped!

Looks great!

Thanks Fabio! Going to plastidip the rear badges in some fashion tonight once I decide what’s staying on. Next install is front tie rod end joints.

Hey , I tried to remove the grill with out taking the whole bumper off.(only take top 6 screws off) but I am having trouble pushing it out. Any tips to remove top and bottom clips? Thanks

so we remove old and fit new but show neither.it may come off easily but often these things don t and most second hand ones have lugs missing which suggests they can be awkward.

Where can I buy this grill?

I'm planning to install a honeycomb grill today but how do you remove the original without breaking the bottom clips?

[@GarageBuds]

I wish I had a good procedure for you. It's challenging if the plastic is old... try to remove it with a plastic plying tool

[@cw2002]

Thanks for the video. Would you say that it was easier to do it like this or if you were to do it again, would you remove the bumper?

[@GarageBuds]

Definitely like this... I think removing the bumper is overkill unless you have another job to do like working with the headlights

[@cw2002]

@@GarageBuds I did it this afternoon using your technique and it worked a treat. Thanks!

[@GarageBuds]

@@cw2002 great!

I wish I had seen this video earlier. I plasti dipped my grill and masked everything up but I wish I could of removed the grill instead. Great video👌
