If you break any of the plastic clips then a Peugeot / Citroen main dealer ( whichever is nearer to you ) will have them in stock & main dealer will be cheaper then getting ripped of on Ebay Wink

Or just fill your pockets when you go scrapyard next. Whistle...

Ok it's pretty simple!

Open the bonnet and there's a plastic grill that has slats this is held on by 4 mushroom clips. My favourite tool to remove those is a fork. Once they are out at the bottom of that plastic slat thingy there are clips that you need to push in and at the same time you need to pull it out. Once you got them all out it will reveal a bolt hiding behind the Peugeot badge and there's 2 either side of the badge (3 in total)

Now you have to grab the edge of it (by the wing, below the headlight) and pull! Be warned it's held on by clips and those can be brittle, can buy replacements on the cheap from Peugeot parts! If you have strong finger nails you can tug it off by using those... If not something wrapped in duct tape will do (like a blockbuster membership card?) to stop scratching of the paint

u love your blockbuster membership cards dont ya Wink
i need to get one Very Happy

Remove the the black plastic clips which are just above the bonnet catch, then unscrew the bolts x2 (1 either side) of the badge itself then pull the edges of the grille where they meet the front wings

Take the mushroom clips off, and it pops off at either side.
