Well, finally took the plunge.
Yesterday me and my brother took the front bumper of for a repaint due to stone chips.
The bumper was no problem, the problem was the black grill/mesh. That was a PITA
3 Small things happened and I want you to beware.
The hinges were the bumper meets the fender was very very tight and I got a small crack in the plastic thing thats attached to the car. But superglue will fix that.
The washer caps are very fragile and I broke one of them, see pic further down.
I forgot about the washer fluid, lol
got my feet all wet for a while
Thanks for the the regarding how to disconnect the bumper:
Time for ZHP
Replacing the black and M interior strip due to small scratches from shoes
