Had a look last night and can't work out how to get the lower grill out of the front bar. Does the bar need to be taken off to do it?

Think the lower black bit and the mesh are all one. Really not sure though.

I am thinking of cutting the mesh out and leave a big gaping hole. Either spray the whole hole black or do it in the body colour

There was a member on here who wanted to take his lower grill out of his G6ET and spray it black leaving the outsides chrome as it is. He couldn't get it off without taking the bar off and just ended up leaving it there, taping it off and spraying it all while on the car.

Bit of a pain in the butt to take the whole bar off just for the grill imo

It takes 20mins to take the bar off , and yes the grill is one piece.

1/ jack car up and put wheel stands underneath .

2/ remove stone tray

3/ remove plastic skrivets from upper grill also two screws near the headlights then remove

4/ remove plastic skrivets from wheel arch and 2 nuts inside wheel arch cover ( you will need to pull it back to see them )

you will need to pull the bar sideways gently from underneath headlight indicator as there are a couple of clips holding it in place and the bar will come off . To put back on just do it all backwards . And don't worry to much if you carnet get some of the skrivets out just pull them out and replace with new ones around $2:50 / $3 from ford.

This will make life easer for you with measurements and sizing a custom bar .
