Can I remove the front bumper grilles?
Just as the title states. I have a small zoo worth of bugs on the radiator and intercoolers. I can’t reach anything through the grilles and compressed air & vaccuum didnt work because they are baked on. Can i remove these without removing the whole front bumper? I poked around it a bit but didnt get very far... Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When there’s a will, there’s a way. Cleaned out two handfuls of bugs through the grilles. Had to use some “specialty” tools, haha.

I was faced with this problem when I first got my E. Fortunately for me, it wasn't baked on bugs but just dried leaves. I tried the long stick method and it wasn't effective enough. I grabbed my shopvac and reversed the flow. Blew all that junk right out I will definitely keep your invention in mind should I ever come across more stubborn stuff! Thanks! You should patent this!

This kit has greatly helped me clean the exact same spots. I purchased 2 of them to have extra of the straight extension. Its also great for cleaning the engine bay as well as the interior ofcourse.
