Hi fantastic video, quick question I notice your grill surround is not on how did you remove that with out dropping the bumper. I have ordered genuine black piano grill surround and JCW grill I plan to replace both at the same time. Is it possible to remove the original grill and surround together and simply clip the new black jcw grill in place.

Hi it is possible however you risk breaking the original grill surround and the area it clips to. The recommended route it to remove the bumper and remove with access to the rear of it.

Can the black plastic part where the number plate goes be removed without removing the front bumper? My one has faded.

Not without risk of breaking bits, it securely clipped in from behind.

The grill had already been removed from the car, as in this wasnt the first time I had removed the front bumper that week.

This is completely unhelpful, maybe start with it not already partially taken apart
