Hey Guys

I'd like to swap out my chrome grill surround with a black one, or even better carbon! I'm leaning towards getting it wrapped in black whilst I wait for a carbon one to come up at a price I can justify. However to wrap it and do a good job, I'll need to remove it. How difficult / easy is that and what is involved? (hope you're not going to say its a bumper off job!) Anyone done this and can give some tips / advice?


Thanks in advance
Mark

Hello Mark,

I've had the Project 7 grill fitted. You are not going to like this but yes, the front bumper has to come off!

Actually think it could be done by a competent DIYer with correct tools & workshop/garage. Don't think there is too much to worry about behind there.

Have Hayes brought their F-Type manual yet? 😄
