they can be heated up and pushed out but often wont be 100% doing this and will require a bit of filler work. its a simple enough repair to do tho

I was thinking about ways I could try and fix it without taking anything out, and thought maybe I could mask loads off and sand the paint off the area, filler and rattle cans, though would it look a bit of a botch job? I would imagine blending the paint to the surrounding area would be hard

no mate you can get a small torx bit under the head light unit to undo the screws but the grill will need to be removed from above the bumper

Cool, with a bit of hindsight I ordered some replacement clips for that job in case I break some, are these the right ones do you know?

I presume I have to take out the grill vents that surround the peugeot badge, pull the grille out (is there anything holding this in?) and then get at the bump strip? Its only a very faint dent, in the shape of a line where the dent is so i reckon i can heat it and push it out if the plastic is thin enough
