Tomm350z Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 So I've recently bought a black facelift bumper for my grey 06 350z with the intention of taking it to a body shop and getting it re-sprayed the correct colour. Is it true that you can't take out the front grill on these bumpers? If so will the body shop be able to mask up the grill and spray around it or am I better off waiting and trying to find a WV2 facelift bumper? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davey_83 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 Should be able to mask it up no problem. Waiting for a WV2 bumper and it may or may not colour match anyways with your wings and bonnet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strudul Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 (edited) You could always get the grill itself painted to match? Though the black plastic bits that are attached to the grill can be removed can't they? Edited March 14, 2017 by Strudul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though the black plastic bits that are attached to the grill can be removed can't they? Did wonder this but I think I prefer the grills being black. Not too sure if they can be removed as I haven't received the bumper yet to have a look, would make life much easier if they could be! But I've heard that to remove the grills you have to Dremel them off?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redzed8 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 On my facelift bumper the grills are screwed on and can be taken off via screws behind the bumper. On my prefacelift bumper the grills are built into the actual bumper and cant be removed. Hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The silver bits behind are attached, but the black bits just clip on / off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OliverB Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 I have a face-lift bumper that I'm about to put up for sale if that's of use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHEZZA Posted March 16, 2017 Share Posted March 16, 2017 You are leaving the car there to have the bumper fitted and not just the bumper aren't you, as you'll have no come back if the colour match isn't right. What's wrong with your original, not repairable ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's wrong with your original, not repairable ? Yeah I'll have to put the bumper on and take it over there for them to properly colour match it. Bought the car as a Cat D write off with the intention of fixing it up myself.. it had no bumper when I bought it hence why I was trying to find a new one 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
