Default Mesh grilles on a Hawkeye

Hi all, I'm looking to get my first Scoob at the moment and one has come up which is almost perfect, the reason it's only "almost" is that it has these God awful mesh grilles on the front. One large lower grille and three small upper grilles. Sorry if this offends anyone but they look very Halfords carpark style IMO and I want to know how hard they would be to remove. It looks like the bottom of the lower grille is fixed to the painted part of the bumper and I'm worried that when I remove the grilles which would be number one mod on my to do list, then it will leave the bumper damaged 😢

Can anyone shed any light? Thanks :-)

Assuming they're OEM, the lower grill should have 4 screws (into brackets on the bumper) along the top edge and a few posts that go into holes on the bumper at the bottom. Removing it shouldn't cause any damage.

Thanks mate. Will it not leave any holes in the bumper that would be visible do you think?

Has anyone actually fitted one here that would know for sure? Also do they actually replace any standard parts so if I were to remove the Zunsport lower grille and 3 piece upper grilles (hawkeye) will I need to purchase the original OEM grilles?

Thanks!

I wouldn't have thought the holes would be particularly noticeable tbh.
