it can be done, you just have to be careful as the clips are very brittle and will break very easily.

Taking off the bumper is so easy a monkey could do it. I did it and I'm anidiot. I wouldn't risk any damage by prying stuff. It took 20 mins to getit off and about 30 to put it back on. Just get a helper to help supportit as you do it. You'll be fine.

The only trick is making sure you get all the clips off and you definately need another body to support it especiallywhen disconnecting the fog lights.

Someone's gotta hold up the bumper while you reach back thereto give them a quarter turn to release them.

Then you need someone to help you move it off the car and into a safe place while you work the grill out from the back side. You also needsomeone to help support it while putting it all back together.

You don't want to drop it.

oh....and make sure you make a mental note of how the shieldinglays on the bottom of the car near the wheels to make sure you put that all back togetherright as you're putting the bumper back on.
