The above guide is the one I used when I first did it! I just left the grill intact hanging on the securing pin, bumper slides on around it. But as your wanting to install a FMIC you may need it off!

Taking off the front bumper is easy, it was the first thing i had to do when i bought the car  as i had to change a bulb.

yes, always remove and throw away unnecessary parts, they are junk and only part of whats called build quality. totally unecessary and only makes the car a boat. though if it were a real boat it would most certainly sink.
