    Cut them roughly to length, used a hairdryer to heat the slats.....applied the vinyl, heat the vinyl and trimmed it.

    Sorted.

    Cost me £3
    Hey I just ordered some wrap and want to wrap the chrome on my grill. I was wondering if there was anyway to take the trim pieces off the grill without removing the bumper? Where abouts are the clips

        No, it can't be done with the bumper in place. I have heard some people say you can remove the grill with the bumper still on, just dropped forward, personally I've had my bumper off a heap of times to get at the grill and don't really think it could be done, so call that bullsh*t.. Much much easier with the bumper off & tbh only takes 5 minutes to drop the bumper... it's very simple compared to some.

        The parts on the facelift grill....

            You can remove the grill without removing the bumper fully just tilted forward, my self and exclusiv. Have both done this, it's certainly easier to fully remove the bumper

            It's not buiish1t at all

                I was hoping just to get access to the clips for the chrome trims on the grill. Would that be easy enough?

                    So it shows it can be done... I thought it was hard enough with the bumper off trying to do it on my own... pulling it apart on one side, only to move to the other and the original side slips back on....

                    Ohhhh it's fiddley for sure.
