Aftermarket honeycomb grille

A quick question, once the front end has been removed, will the metal bumper need respraying black?

Also any tips on removing the front end, hidden bolts etc?

Thanks

Yes, definitely spray the or hamerite the crash bar black, it stands out through the honeycombe and you will regret not doing it when you had the chance.
Front bumper is straight forward, just take care removing it near the wings as they can scratch or chip the paint on the edges.
If you have headlight washers then you will need to disconnect the hose during removal. Gravity will force the entire contents onto the floor, so grab a bucket or you will be working in a puddle.

Much appreciated, luckily (depends on the situation) I don't have washers

An old blanket or similar under the bumper will save scratches. You’ll need a couple of Torx drivers and a long extension bar for the bumper 10mm bolt accessed from the wheel arch.
