Fog light trim removal?

First post on here and sorry if this has already been discussed but I've tried searching... If it has been discussed then please point me in the right direction.

My front fog light surrounds and centre grill on F22 with Sport Line trim have changed to a shade of purple/blue. Having just put a new black kidney grill in, they look odd not matching up and I'd like to fit new ones to match.

Does the whole front bumper need removing to release the fog light surround trim or can it be done from the front?

You need to remove it unless you want to risk breaking the tabs or scratching your paint. It is not hard to remove the bumper but it does take awhile to align in back. Also, don't try it alone, it is best to have someone helping you.

Another way, if you are afraid of removing the bumper, it might be possible by just removing the inner wheel well covers and try to depress the clips from there.

Thanks for the reply. Don't fancy taking the front off as I have front sensors and extendable headlight washers.

I'll try the inner wheel covers first.

Thanks
