How easy a job is it to get the front bumper off and back on again?

I am pretty hands on with things like this but is it something that should go to plan with not many things going wrong?

I plan to remove the current 'plastic' parts of the grill(s) and replace them with some honeycomb grill similar to the Golf GTi or the picture below.....

Thanks mate (y)

I know how to do it though but I was just wondering if anyone else had done it and from experience were able to tell me whether it is as simple as it should be.

Or am I going to be loosing the head a lot :D
