Lower grill removal...how difficult?

Post by Danz4coupe » Sun May 21, 2017 10:19 pm

Painted the inner part of my kidney grills black and I'm very happy with how they look. Problem now is the lower grill looks bad in comparison. How easy is it to remove so I can paint it as well? Is it a bumper off jobbie? Thanks.

I was going to ask how easy it is soon...

I had a look on real oem and it looks like there are just clips on the inside. Im guessing you must have to 'attack' the clips from behind.
