Hi All, hope you're well.

I note that the black grill on the front bumper can't be removed and replaced due to it being welded at the bottom directly to the bumper.

So, as mine is all bent am i safe to use my heat gun to heat the plastic and bend back in to shape? I thought I'd check as I don't want to obviously cook any engine parts.

What do you think?

Kind regards,

Bear.

Pretty certain it can be removed. A heat gun could be used to try to straighten it but may be better to remove the bumper first.At the very least have a close look whats behind the area before using the heat gun.

thought they just clipped in    you have to remove bumper though to access them

Thanks guys, really appreciate the help.

once i've removed the bumper will it still be connected to the fog lights? i cant see on the guide where this mentions it?

cheers.

Yep - just a little electrical connector to unplug at each side. ...........you got headlamp washers ?
Might be easier to unplug the foglights first if you can reach the connectors ok.
