Hi, just a quick question, is the lower grill on the mk2 (furio) part of the bumper? or can it be removed without removing the bumper. as I want to mesh the lower grill.

its part of the bumper fella! you need to hacksaw it out. if you look close and feel it you can see its all one part.

oh and it will make it alot easier to take the bumper off to mesh it as you can see what your doing and stick the mesh on properly :)

There are black plastic slats behind the lower grill which you can remove and replace with mesh, or you could cut out the whole lower grill and mesh that (like a big mouth conversion)!

remove the left to right bar and the 5 drops, then mesh it.

wasnt that badactually all i did was remover the bumper and i used a hacksaw blade to cut the horizontal slat off at each end then all the vertical ones then it came off easy in one piece.after that it was just a case of tidying the bumper up a bit and placing the mesh over the space and bonding it.think i used silicon on mines and left it to dry
