Default Nose Removal

I removed the front grill and think that's the look I like. I would however want a bodyshop to fill the clip holes and repaint. Since I hate leaving the car anywhere, I would like to drop off only the nose. Is this a big job? Has anyone removed it? Any info appreciated.

i just did this and it only takes 20 minutes or so.. hard to explain.. all the 10mm bolts under neath.. three pull pins.. the 5 pulpins in the engine brace and 3 nuts (on studs) at each side (left and right) just look at it, its pretty easy

Good luck and email me if you have questions..
