Removing aero kit grill
Help! I want to remove my black aero kit grill and replace it with a chrome grill but im not sure how to remove the bottom grill. Do i need to pull out the whole front bumper? Im sure i can do the top one but any help with regards to the bottom one would be great. thanx

Who installed the front bumper grill? IF it was done professionally then it might be glued in with epoxy and difficult to remove. If you have a full aerokit then you have slots on the grill that fit the bumper so it should not be as bad. You do get better access to behind the bumper by removing the bumper.
If you have the stock MC or MCS bumper and added the aero grill then the grill and bumper were likely both grinded and modified to fit and the grill was glued in. Not as easy to get it out.
