Do I need to use this grille with the W1 bumper, or will it work standalone?

This grille is engineered specifically for the W1 front bumper assembly. The two pieces share a matched surround and mounting interface, so both should be ordered together for proper fitment and finish consistency.

What prep work is needed before painting?

Sand the entire surface with appropriate grit to dull the gelcoat, then wipe down to remove dust. Follow with your chosen primer and paint system. FRP accepts standard automotive primers and paints — confirm compatibility with your paint supplier before application.

Will this grille fit my vehicle without any modifications?

This grille uses factory mounting points and requires no drilling or cutting. Verify your vehicle's OEM grille opening dimensions against the W1 assembly before ordering to confirm alignment with your bumper and hood lines.
