Question 2019 F-Type R front lip / splitter removal

Hi everyone,

Quick question - how easy is it to remove (for wrapping / painting) the front splitter / lip on an F-Type R (2019)? Is it just case a removing some bolts / screws underneath or is it more complex? I've added a picture for reference to show the part I mean.

Thanks in advance.

Not sure on a 2019 but I removed and renewed/replaced mine a few years ago, on a MY 2015 with a different shaped central splitter/diffuser and wings/side pieces.
Not at all difficult or tricky just time consuming with lots of bolts and screws. It should be much the same on a 2019 but who knows.
One extra tip - before refitting warm up the central piece with a hair dryer enough so that it flexes easily otherwise it could be a bear to fit.

Thanks! I think the bumper is fundamentally the same and didn't change until the facelift in 2019/2020. Makes sense it's just a matter of bolts and screws given its position.
