Hi Guys,

I have seen a few videos where you will have to take out the entire bumper to remove the silver trim pieces and in one video I saw a guy removing side vents by pulling them straight out and then unscrewing the plate from below and four screws in the front and sliver trim comes out.

if anyone here has done it any advice/tips?

 

Do you have access to the repair manual that has been posted here in the past? Section 501-19 covers this. There's quite a bit to do to expose all of the screws.

 

There’s a pretty good video on how to do it on Powerful UK’s YouTube site.

 

YES. DO NOT JUST PULL!

You'll break clips. I did that, just like in the PUK video and ended up buying new ones. The flimsy built in clips all along the bottom front bumper snapped (and around the headlamps) when I removed them installing my bullbar and winch. Then when I put the bumper together it looked janky and a little off and the panels wouldn't snug up properly. So I bought new bottom L&R pieces, then had to have them painted which took a month at the bodyshop.. All in, about $800 ... stupid mistake.

Search around here bc I posted about it. The actual JLR body shop mgr told me the trick is to make a soap / water solution (very slippery, not low concentration) and spray it in the crevasses very good before you pull. Once I did that, no issues. I've had multiple panels off the car... zero cracked or broken clips.
