Depends if you've sprayed before? its all about the prep & practice to get a reasonable finish.
I sprayed my mirrors, spoiler, bumper dash etc myself but it helped too have a bit of guidance and something to practice on

the rear badges will simple pull off, get a hair dryer on them to heat the sticky foam there stuck on with and they should just pull off. you will need to use a bit of elbow grease to get the rest of the foam off tho

I little lacking on picture of the mirrors. You can just about see them in this pic finish was a good match just not as glossy as a factory finish.



The debadged grille I had on that one made a big difference to the looks I think. Only thing is with the bumpers that you have and I had on that one you have to cut the old grille out as they are part of the bumper. As the grilles are actually designed for the later spec bumpers
