Bumper Removal and Adding Protective Mesh

So I finally got around (after 4 months haha) to pulling my front bumper and installing some mesh behind all of the lower and kidney grilles to prevent foreign objects from getting in, accumulating, and possibly damaging the radiators/coolers. I know there are already external products available, but I just don't think they look as clean. Seeing how BMW thought the M2 CS Racing needed meshes everywhere also encouraged me to get this done!

So first we'll start with the bumper removal/installation:
