Default Radiator Grill Guard Removal?

I'm thinking these need to be powdercoated or anondized since in silver it looks kind of ridiculous. Anyone know if this comes off without having to remove the entire front bumper assembly?

You have to remove the bumper to get to them. It is actually very easy - I just did this last weekend. Here is a great instruction guide (watch the video too).

Easy but a bit more difficult to line up with the lights etc when you replace it - better with someone to hold it in place while you tighten the screws.

A great opportunity to get rid of leaves, grit feathers ,cigarette ends and the odd left shoe which has got in there over time.
