#1: Front Grill removal Author: thespannerman, Location: BirminghamPosted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 11:57 am ---- I'm trying to remove the front grill, and looking at the haynes manual it says start by removing the four push fastners accros the top (by the bonet catch) which I've done, then release the lower retaining clips - but how? The pics in the manual look like you have to pull it up, but I dont want to break this or the trim panel its attache to.
ideas/guidance please
Cheers
Al

Then undo the 3 torx screws, pull hard at each corner to remove the coloured trim with the badge.

I don't seperate them, but that is just me.

Maybe im just to ham fisted.. but you will need to give it some extra encouragement to un-clip..

Yes, those clips to break easily. Luckily I haven't broken one yet.
