Does anyone know if the S5 front bumper grill / grille is removable without cutting it out?

 

No, it's all one moulded part.

It's easy to remove with a hacksaw blade and replace with better looking mesh, like this...

dang

 

best bet just leave it alone..it will never look right without the center piece without spending $ at body shop to help mold it..it was tempting with me and i cut out the center piece on my s4 and it was hidious...got a s5 and repaced the s4. never again

 

Well the main thing is its already missing, I was hoping I could get another to put in there but guess not.

 

Bollocks. Mine looks better than stock and cost me practically nothing.

That's because it's an S4...

Just do what I did, it'll look better anyway. I used some wire mesh from work, but you could get something similar from a hardware store. I painted it black to give it an unobtrusive OEM look and retained it with zip ties through small holes drilled in the plastic. It's been there for several years.

Whatever you do, DON'T drive around without something in there to stop stuff getting in. Forget rocks and stuff, what you have to fear is plastic bags or big bits of paper. I unknowingly sucked in a plastic bag and it covered the oil cooler, sending the coolant temps climbing. I'd hate to think what the oil temps were...
