NISMO Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Its actually very easy. After putting two through compliance, i can now do it in a few mins. sorry haven't done it in a couple of years, but off the top of my head 1. Check how grill is attached. There are 4 tabs in each corner of the chrome grill with little screws. These are actually clips so just half a turn and they should pop out. Hang on, maybe there's only two. One on each side. 2. Underneath the car, you will have to unscrew the underside dust/dirt cover which i'm pretty sure is connected to the bottom of the front bumper. There's a few screws here, i think around 6-8. make sure its the dust cover you're unscrewing as these screws are near the front lip screws. (Made that mistake once 3. There are 2 screws on each side of the front bumper near the blinkers. Easiest way is from the wheel well. Turn steering wheel to the left and do the right side, then turn to right and do the left side Move the wheel arch covers out of the way and you'll see them pretty easily. Before you unscrew these, disconnect the front blinkers. Usually just a half turn and they'll pop out. Also before you unscrew the side screws near the blinkers have someone hold the bumper or prop it up, as these 2 screws on each side are all that hold it. and that should be it. If it gets caught anywhere, don't force it. Have a look to see if I may have missed a screw.

I have removed mine and you dont need to remove the grill from the bar, just remove all fasteners that hold the grill and bar to the car,. This is the same for my mates M35 Stag.
