From what I can remember, you can do it with the radiators in place. You need to remove the 2 triangle mounts at the top that go into the radiator, the bonet catches, the horns, the radar (if present), 2 crash sensors, the headlight air guides and the radiator air guides and then after removing all the bolts you can access from the top/front there are a bunch that need to be unbolted from the back, so you will need swivel head spanners or low profile ratchets to get in between the radiator and slam panel with your tools.

If I also remember correctly. there were some air guides that were attached with plastic clips that all broke when removing them, so you might need to buy some of those

I actually recorded videos of doing mine with the intention of making a youtube video, but I can't seem to locate the source files currently
