removing the gloss black parts on front bumper of a 200

[Gus]

Im tempted to respray the black parts on my front bumper and wondered of they are easy to remove to make spraying easier ?

Very good question Gus - I wanted to do this myself but was going to wrap in gloss back vinyl so I could have a go at home and keep the cost down.
I do know that last time I had my front bumper off I noticed 2 rivets at the top of the larger black section.

Ask for pics on the facebook group, some of them look pants so double check you'll like it first!

Why would they look pants if they're black already?

Sorry, I misread that as colour coding that part. I'll grab my coat.

No worries matey, I did wonder if you had misunderstood

The large trim clips off, the lower blade requires the bumper being removed as its screwed from the rear, about 6 30 torx screws and 2 10mm bolts behind the plastic impact reinforcer. Just done this last night

Anyone that colour codes the front end should sell the bloody thing and get in a GT where they belong. WRONG on so many levels.

Mine for some reason had gunmetal grey mirrors diffuser and front inserts. Put them back to black
