Before, during and after pics
Thanks to the DIYs on this forum I did the install myself.
Should have worn gloves as soeone suggested as my hands have been in ruins for 2 days now!!
Took about an hour due to some clips being hard to get to.

Get ready for a rash of sh!^@#% for having a dirty car, and even worse, writing on the paint!

My girlfriend wrote on it, she won't be doing it again now though, I cut her fingers off!
That'll teach her.
I did the grilles then took it straight away to get cleaned.
Gonna do CF badges now, I tried to remove them to see how easy it would be, couldnt get them off at all, anybody got any tips, I tried to put a card underneath before attempting with a screw driver but there wasn't enough space even for a card to fit there

Grilles look good, as for the badges just get some fishing line or floss and work it in behind the badge and pull, the badges are just press fitted into the holes should it shouldn't take too much to get it out
