hey guys,

how can i remove the lower grille on the sports bumper? can it be taken out from underneath the car by removing the underguard screws? or does the whole bumper has to be off? planning to paint it gloss black



thanks

 

There is a DIY for removing headlights which requires you to take the bumper loose as well. Good directions there, follow them. You don't have to take the bumper completely off, but the top and sides come loose and you can take it out that way. It looks great painted black BTW. Do the side fake vents too while you're in there, it's easy and you'll already have the bumper off.

 

thanks for the info, so there is no way you could get to them from underneath the car right?

 

Never tired, the method in the DIY was easy enough for me. Perhaps someone else has an easier method?

 

Has anyone tried to get the lower grille out from under the car by just removing the splash guard over the past 6 years since this thread was created?

I'm planning to paint mine, so doing my due diligence.

 

Easy access from bottom of car I tried to unsnap it but was afraid of breaking fasteners Not sure how the fasteners work but acess is easy I want to paint mine also BTW should have said mine is an IPL front bumper
