C55/CL Grille Installed

Well the CL Grille finally arrived from Autowerks. It only took a week from San Diego to Toronto. Arrived at 5:00 PM and just did the install Very, very easy. Just a had to rmove the chrome stip on the hood, swap out the Grille and change the hood latch (supplied in the kit).

Thanks to Mike at Autowerks for all your help!!

Here's the result. Better pic's to follow when we get some sun>>>>>

Very nice and good price too.
How easy is to reverse the C55 grill back ?
When you were taking the original grill off, would it be damaged or scratched?

Cheers

Thanks for all the great comments!!
As promised, here is a quick daylight pic.

To answer some questions: its easy to remove the stock grille. A couple of small wrenches or a socket set will do. Sorry i don"t have the correct sizes but you only need 2. No scratching on either the install or removal and it can all be easoily reversed.

Hope this helps>>>>
