I did it shortly after buying, not too hard - main advice I would give is to properly disengage the securing tabs. They pop up from the middle to free up the base so the full tab assembly will fully come out with little effort. I didn't know this and popped out engaged tabs from the bottom while still being secured/engaged to the body.

Not a huge deal but did waste a lot of time for me. I looked back over the instructions I used (which were fantastic BTW) but did not call out that nuance directly if I remember correctly.

All in all this was way easier than my 16' 235 swap - that was a huge pain.

My 330 is an M Sport bit had a standard grille. Just can't deal with that non-shadowline grill....it's like neglecting an infant
