Hi guys I feel like a noob asking this but how do you remove a sp grill? I've bought an sp badge for it and can't get my hands up behind it so need to take it off, I can see the clips but again can't really access them as there is not enough room for my hands

raise the front end of the car so you can get underneath it then you should be able to get behind it, i had mine off not so long ago but alot of the clips were badly rusted and snapped so i had to get new ones

It's a bit tight but I got it in the end (also on a 180)
I found getting it back on the hard part though

I might just take the bumper off, bit of an overkill just for an sp grill though lol

Just don't put it on. I didn't.
Looks better and smoother without.

My car is Debadged so it suits. Sp badges look cheap tbh. Especially the new White ones.

I like the look of them, mine is bebadged too but think the little sp badge breaks up the emptiness of a wiremesh grill
