The whole front nose piece most be removed on lots of cars to exchange radiators. Most are fastened with pop pins not a DIY job!

That's for particular vehicles. There are some vehicles.that you have to remove the front bumper cover and bumper brace to have access to the condenser and radiator. So don't be so fast to say what it is or what is isn't. Dick breath
