easy torx left and right arch liners and about six underneath it's not hard at all.

Steel grey I'd a lovely colour for a gti so hope it looks good as I have a black gti and had my lip painted black to just make it easier for the price I paid to get it done. £90 for both front and back ed30 spoiler and lip.

Actually it would be easier to take off the front bumper completely as if the lower valance has not been taken off before, you may have issues getting it off.

Reason i say this is because the lower valance is actually clipped underneath to the front bumper and will need a bit of persuading getting it off.
