    Bruh. Pulling the bumper off is really easy and then you don't have to worry about overspray or gunking up your radiator with paint.

    You can pull the grille out without removing the bumper. Ask me how I know...

    It was def harder to get back in. Might be easier to tape it off and spray paint. I plan to do that for the diffuser piece soon.

    Easy to tape and spray, which is what I did. Also, no biggie to remove and spray.

    Thanks! That's Tyson, our black lab. Super awesome dog. Couldn't ask for a much better companion to our 5 year old.

    I didn't notice it until you pointed it out! haha. Thanks! I actually have my bumper off right now to retrofit some G5-R projectors in place of the ZKW's. No more a perfect time!

    Man, I really like this blue! First blue one and it's grown on me fast! Catch myself turning around to look at it when walking away.

    Not sure if anyone told you, but the bumper doesn't have to come off for that.

    ^ Yep, that is what I did on my previous ZHP, turned out quite nicely.

    ^ I put newspaper behind the lower grill too, to avoid overspray.

    It does when you have headlight washers, I don't see any other way to get the washer out of the headlight lower mount. I've had the bumpers off before, really easy to do and why not?

    No sir. I have headlight washers as well and remove my headlights all the time. Never had to remove the bumper for that.

    The washer pumps are attached to a bracket that attaches to the headlight assembly. They come off as one unit. There are two boots at the top of the headlight and two below it, hidden by the body colored trim. Remove the corner light and trim and you'll see the two boots under the headlight. Then, the whole thing slides out the front of the car.

    Which part prevented you from removing the headlight?
