XKRS Chin spoiler removal
I need to remove the carbon chin for some reconditioning. Has anyone see the proper tech guide on this? I know there are a few bolts on the bottom, but was not sure if this required full bumper removal to take off. As there some retaining clips on the top side of the lip?
Any info or experience is appreciated.

Spoiler alert! :)
If it's the same as on my 2014 XK the chin spoiler is attached by 4 bolts, there is also black mastic betwixt the spoiler and bumper and some (2) self tapping screws where the centre piece meets overlaps/inserts into the side pieces.
I know as caught a curb and had to reinstate, i think it's made to give as opposed to ripping the whole bumper off if you hit a curb...as i did
Talking out of my nether regions if yours is one piece!

Steve it's a tough one to get the angle right, my car is identical to the one in the pic, excepting the pic shows a white chin spoiler, where mine is black, hopefully this helps?
You can see it's made up of 3 pieces, and weirdly black is harder to photograph than white

And it does, but having caught mine twice on the edge of curbs (I was reversing down a slope) I was cursing it when had to re-attach
They are pricey however, just noticed this XK-RS one on UK ebay, that is a single piece unit

For those without the aero pack front lip spoiler, I've never seen one listed 2nd hand, so perhaps if you hear of one that's been wrecked with rear end/side damage you'll have to get in their first....any front end collision will mean that flimsy spoiler is toast!

Apologies to clarify From this model 2012+XKRS. The factory carbon chin has four lower bolts and I’m assuming some retaining clips on top but wasn’t sure. I did not want to yank on it without knowing. If it has retaining clips, my assumption is the chin needs full bumper removal to take off.
As you see in photo, I have some scrapes from the previous owner (which is the only flaw). Thus, I’m going to take it off-Fill with resin and reapply clear.
