What a pain in the butt that was to change something as simple as a grille
I followed some YouTube video instructions and took my time not to damage anything and protected various parts of the bumper and front wings, but it still took me most of the day, as I cleaned everything as I did the swap, front under tray removed eventually, along with the metal sump tray, which I thought I may as well clean everything that was revealed, not too much dirt as she only has 4K miles from new.
to cut a long story short itās a pain to do, but worth it in the end. Love the looks, more aggressive and fitted perfectly. Worth taking the additional time to protect vulnerable sections of the bumper and front wings, and take your time for a perfect finish.
