JCW front splitter install help

I just got this as a christmas gift. It comes with the endless amounts of bolts etc but no instructions on the install. Is it a pretty simple install or should I wait and take it to a garage?

Thanks!

Anyone? I can't really find any clear manual online other than putting it on. It's proving to be difficult to get the original off just so I can put the new one on.

It's pretty easy though. I installed mine about a month ago.

Thanks. I found that manual but I am having more trouble getting the original one off right now. I see some people on YouTube removing the grille etc. How did you remove the original?

The front fender trim has to partially be pulled back as there's two rivets on either side that need to be removed. Then use a plastic tool along the lower trim to pop it out.

I installed it a few days ago. Looks great. The Leap rear spoiler will be painted and fitted tomorrow.

I need to call Louis and get my LEAP spoiler as well. I got the Alpha-C and scoop from him for my R53 before.
