I Read To Put Mesh On The Grill, You Need To Take The Front Kit Off. Is This True? Is There No Way To Fasten On Without Doing This?

no, you don't >have< to if you don't want to.
it's just that it's a lot easier to do and make it look good it if you remove the front first.

think im gonna do this after strips, seen some cheap mesh on ebay but gonna get that and possibly colour it to see what its like.
can it be put in or on the bit thats already on (the black bits, on grill and front kit) or would i need to remove these?

for the best results take your grill and bumper off the car to mesh it. you could cut it to shape a fix it to the front side of your bumper/grill, but it dont look quite as good. time is the essence on this project mate. if you don`t have the time or patience to do it then get some one to do it for you. you will be far more satisfied with the end product if you do it properly. but it is really up to the individual.

as said above , only 5 clips so it shouldnt take more than a minute to get it off & even faster getting it back on.
As for the mesh well.... mesh is mesh , save urself a bit & buy it from BnQ

Where are the clips? I cant get under car to see them without jacking it up and I aint got a jack till i go to our lasses. They like spread from left to right or 3 top and some bottom?

under the bumper ? 
lol sorry mate i thought ur on about the bit inbetween the headlights (in which case the clips behind that can clearly be seen , 3 top & 2 bottom).
To remove the front bumper (you dont need to jack it up , just use mirrors or crawl under (unless uve got it lowerd , then get a 9yr old to do it
) you need to remove 9 Bolts.
1st 2 are on the far edges:
Turn ur wheel to full left/right lock then remove the 2 plastic clips holding the splash guard back. You should be able to see the bolts (1 per side) at the top corner of the bumper.
Next 2 are underneath the the indicators:
Remove the Screws , then pull them out of the socket but not to far or hard cos ull snap the ball joints. Once youve got it out a bit , use a screw driver down the gap between the indicator & headlight and apply pressure in the right direction forcing the ball joint out of the socket. Then you just unscrew the bulb out & leave it hanging out the way. The 2 Bolts are clearly visible under these.
Next 2 are underneath the car approx 3inchs back from the front & 1 foot inwards at each side. just follow the bumper plastic.
The remaining 3 are underneath the plastic grill between the headlights.
Before removing/replacing bolts remember to grease em up with appropriate substances.
Judging by what was on mine , youll need a Size 10 Spanner or much better a socket. If its been took off before , the nuts wont be seized that much & should come off easily enough , while if its never been removed from production , the bolts might be rusting in which case you need to be very careful not to snap them otherwise they'll need drilling out.
Should take About 1hr-1hr30 if the bolts aint in good condition , while if they are ur lookin at 30-45.
The rear bumpers even easier.

I think there was a mix up, lol I thought u meant there were 5 clips holding the bumper on!!! I thought no way, they must be bloody strong! So its bolts for bumper and 5 clips for bit between headlights. do u just cut the black from that one on lights?
