    How to demount a CSI nose ?

    Hi, I am considering to repaint the front of my 850 because of stone chips.
    My car had the CSI bumper with the large air inlet below.
    Does anyone know how to remove it ? Is it difficult or rather straight forward ?
    All tricks and tips are welcome! Or a step-by-step procedure would be perfect.
    Thanks!

    I believe you will find posts on the forum..... csi or normal not that much different.
    Putting it back on also simple.

    Alligning it correctly again ..... pffff (done it a few times).

    Normal seems not so easy I saw in another post. Probably CSI is even more complex...
    I think I'll leave it as it is.

    Could you post a link? I'll be converting mine to CSi and I'm curious.
