erm about 2 hours mate. patience etc. getting the grilles out.
What I did:
1. remove grilles
2. cut off a large piece of vinyl
3. stick the vinyl across the 'flat' part of the bumper
4. cut off excess (difficult part getting it to go with the curve between the two grilles)
5. stick on ridge above bumper/below where the grille goes
6. do same for lower grille
7. pierce holes for reg plate
8. admire your handy work/or cry in anger as you f*** it up.
9. wonder what else you can do with your car
@misc: yeah i chose not to use scissors, although i didnt have the sharpest knife, it worked and even scratched some paint off underneath, but nothing a touch up pen can't fix. think it looks much better

good job! was the first thing i did to mine really, although getting my top grille out took 2 lengths of rope tied around it and 2 people to yank it out lol, makes the front end look so much neater!

hahahah mine only came out when i got pissed out off with and went "oh this ****ty f*** grille just wont come out there isnt even anything stopping it wtf can it be!!! * rags it hard* Oh, its come out"
How did you put you bottom grill back in?. Mines not liking the foot up its arse Method.

take the top grille out.
Push the middle of the bumper out whilst pushing the bottom grille in if that makes sense.
Otherwise when youre pushing, the bumper just bends inwards.

Great job! I need to get mine done soon (pay day)
Now you just need to pop your top grill out and spray that little vertical bar behind black. Not so bad on yours as your car is grey. Mine was white on black, sprayed it black 2 days ago, and looks so much better for it!
