Yeah just give the front diamon a good yank and it will come off. You might think you're going to break it but you won't. As for the sunroof I have the same problem :(
No, you need the slam panel/full front panel aswell IIRC. All the brackets for holding the lights on are completely wrong aswell, would involve a lot of cutting and welding. G4Z was going to do it to his cup until he found out what a pain in the arse it would be to do.
This is another good point. Seriously matey, I'd wait, save the cash for a bit and get them to do it all. If you really want to give it a go however, 1200 used wet is fine for sanding down for painting. If there's any damage you'll need to go a bit grittier.
Can f*ck it up very easily, especially with silver. Sand/scotch it with something that's too gritty and you'll see all the scratches below the paint. I've seen "professional" bodyshops get this wrong, so be careful mate. Be aware some places won't touch it if you've already prepped it.
