To remove and replace it without damage, the Front Bumper has to come off. Then remove the four rivets securing the gray plastic Overrider covers to beam and remove covers.
Remove the three rivets securing the Splitter Vane to the to underside of bumper beam.
Often the Splitter Vane and Overriders are just broken of without removing the Front Bumper when fitting a mesh grille.

I just replaced mine. Just remove the 4 plastic doo-dads (on top of the overriders accessed via the hood up) that hold the 2 dark gray overriders in place and pull then out front ... then unscrew the chrome horizontal splitter ... it's easy as eating apple pie. Took me less than 30 minutes.

Any damage? As long as it fits, I will take it! Thanks!

My over riders were cracked so I actually broke them off but they're only held on by a couple plastic fasteners. You can feel their rounded head where they attach to the metal inner bumper. They can be pulled out with a flat head screw pushed under and worked out.
BUT! The aluminum overriders underneath don't come off so easily. They at riveted on. I cut mine off while front bumper was being worked on.
To replace the chrome bar, the plastic over riders have to be removed since it goes behind them, then replaced.

I didn't have to remove anything that was riveted ... for me it was just 4 little plastic doo-dads holding the top of the overriders in place and a couple of screws on the bottom side of the horizontal chrome bar.

HJA6451BC from the first XK8 up to VIN A11050
HJA6451AB from A11051 to A40264
C2N2745 from A40265 to end
If philhef's VIN is below A11050, it will definitely fit.
