Front Chrome Edging Removal

As above, is it possible, thinking of spraying mine black. Yes I can plasti-dip but id rather remove the whole thing and do it properly.

I think you can, but from memory you may have to remove the bumper to access the clips behind the chrome trim.... Biggie might be able to post a guide mate

Also from Mark A:

bumper removal is quite straight forward. 2nbolts Central bottom of bumper and 4plastic grommets 4plastic rivets central top. Then where. Wing meets bumper on inside there are 2 bolts in each side the lower one comes out really easy the top bolt on each side there is no room to get a socket in so you have to ring spanner but it took me about an hour on each side just no room to undo couple of a mm turn each time

Just need the right tools, took me a couple of min to get those off.

Cyclone, what tools will I need, especially for the really tricky/not so tricky top bolts.

Thanks

I think I started with a ratcheting spanner and then moved to a 1/4 drive universal socket and extension. Or the other way round. It was a while ago and given my normal state of inebriation...
