Title: Replacing front grille?
Post by: Betty02 on April 26, 2011, 03:23:05 pm: How easy is this? Got myself one that has no reg plate holes so was wanting to stick it on this weekend.

Is it a full bumper of job or can I do it without all that hassle?

either way is there a guide or instructions?

Thanks
