How to Remove Grille

Tools Needed
10mm socket or spanner
Flat head screwdriver
Hands

Time Taken
5 mins max

Instructions

1. lift bonnet, should be able to see the 2 nuts at the end of the bumper where it meets the top corner of the headlights (highlighted as the outer red circles). The other 2 red circles are where the clips are, wedge the flat head screwdriver behind just enough for them to come loose...


2. Once the screws are taken out, pull at the corners very gently, just so they come away from the bumper like so:


3. This should have made the bottom of the grille loose, so once again pull very gently, and it should just come out with some leverage.


This is why you would find it stuck at the bottom, there is 3 clips total connecting the bottom of the grille to the bumper...


4. Stand back and see how weird your car looks without a grille in place


Let us know if ya need anymore info.
