Default How to remove the XF's front bumper & grill

Hey guys,

I replaced my Jag's grill today with a piano black one and the only way to do this was to remove the bumper.

If any of you are wondering how this is done- here's the link to the video on how I did it - don't worry, its trimmed to 11 minutes or so.

Very well done Mate. Excellent video.
I've done this (including trying to get the grille out through the top- (the clips were just too hard) and you explain it very well.

Go the red growler. It just gives a lovely contrast to all that black.

Thanks, I'm definitely leaning toward the red growler too - I think it will really pop against the black grill.

Where did you get that black grille from? I've been wondering for quite long time to get one like yours.

Thank you

Hey arvinprasetya,

I got it from carlabsdesign on eBay. They are a very good supplier and even noticed my video on YouTube without me sending them a link and got in touch to compliment me on the fitment. They even asked what other stuff we'd like for our Jags so they can look into stocking or creating these items for us - so get in touch with them via eBay.

The link is in the description of my video.

all the best,
Hilton
