Default Easiest way to access compartment behind lower mesh grill

Hey guys, whats the easiest way to get into the area immediately behind the lower mesh grill on the is250? Just asking because i want to do some custom lighting.

It seems the radiator makes up the posterior wall of the compartment. Can the undercover be easily removed in that area?

If someone has taken apart the bumper before, can you please shed some light if you can? thanks

I took the upper grill off and went in through the opening between the bumper and medal holding the radiato behind the upper grill. It was a pain to install my lazer jammers and radar sensor but worth it.

Straightforward to take the upper grill out?

it uses mostly clips (a few screws), use a bone tool and take your time, but faily easy.
