Thanks guys fior the feedback, however its been done.

Decided to go bumper spray black which is like a black matt bumpiesh look.
Got annoyed that spent too long on it and decided i rather go the matt blackish look anyway.

For a $10 part, spent about 3 hrs on it AND too many posts on it.
Far too long in my books so hence after workout yest, decided to paint it and be done with it.
and i do apologise as well for these pointless posts

Whilst waiting for paint to dry, cleaned up auto transmission cooler and is ready to go straight in.

Will post end result though picture later on tonight though.
But sorry for the posts about a fricken $10 part.

Yep now that i see the pics def all black to blend in with the bumper...Id match the finish of the bumper though..
Uni with the grille mesh you rekon it can be done with the bumper on (dont want to remove my bumper again cos its pretty well lined up spot on). I want to put black mesh also
as it would be a good contrast to my white bumper etc.

Theres a variety of mesh i found here
Grille Mesh Sheet | eBay

Mesh, yeh reckon you could. Definately more complicated and harder to do though.
As i have that auto cooler to install also, mine has to come off regardless again.
So once all of my thingys have arrived, will do on a weekend.

Basically could do it, there is enough room to do it but definately be able to work on it with a good light and some patience.

The clips can be siliconed on, but I am looking at epoxy and silicon to
1. hold in place initialy,
2. Silicon to give more flexible and added movement if needed.
3. Possible to use 3 sacrificial screw holes along the top underside of bumper where no one can see anyway on clips to give initial bite and hold in place until the rest dry and either keep in place or remove

As for hitch cover, glad to see it done and be done with it and everyone, so sorry for all the posts.
However came out ok, happy with the result.
Its one of those things where umming and arring and seek others opinions was needed.
Too much chrome initally, then looked weird half painted and looked like a lights in the hitch and finally done to matt finish.

Yeah looks top.
My front bumper doesn't line up very nicely at one side... Any tips?
Obviously kicking it doesn't work so need something a bit more substantial hahaha

Kicking will make it worse but feels better lol

What part doesnt line up? Between headlight and bumper, or between bumper to quarter panel?

After numerous stuffing around with it, I feel like an expert lolol.

HAHAHA yeah nah I haven't kicked it, more, try to push it in with my knee or something.
Anyway, it's the straight edge beside the quarter panel. It's just a bugger.
