The foglight grill just clips back in and is easily removed by pulling at it (had mine stolen in the past)

Dave from sere motors on here will sort you out.

Not sure about the centre grill...I fear it may be bumper off for that.

IMO the best guide for taking the front bumper off is the forge guide fo fitting their FMIC, you can download it from their website.

i think you may have to remove the bumper in order to fit the centre gill. fog grill is push fit so its easily done. grills pop up on ebay now and again.

Yes you will definately have to remove the bumper, as mentioned use the forge guide to help remove the bumper. Once the bumper is off you will have to cut the plastic welds holding the centre grille in, then glue the new one in place.
