The good news is Prospero is all fixed now, both the new front grille and a nasty scratch picked up during the icy weather.
(The garage asked to have the car for two days, so I resigned myself to the bus. This morning, day 2, I noticed the car parked right beside the bus stop, which is next to the garage. It looked done to me, but I thought it couldn't be, maybe there was another coat of lacquer to go on. Got back this evening, to see car in same position. Yes, all done! So, did you do anything to it today? Well, no, we got it finished last night.
Damn. If I'd just gone into the garage and waved my credit card this morning, I could have saved myself a bus ride and a half-mile walk each end. Probably do me good really. I didn't know you could do a spray job that quick.)
Anyway, Andrew says you have to get the whole of the front bumper off, including the indicator lights. You then have to detach the central section which has the three fins on it. Once you've done that, the grille comes out. It's the very first bit to go in when you're assembling the front end.
