Can anyone tell me how to remove the the front grills on my car i want to paint them and it seems quite difficult to get to the back of them so was thinking maybe they clip out from front some how ?, Many thanks Tim.
 
They do click out the front, but it's a mighty pull and slight risk of breakage....otherwise, take off the the plate under the front bonnet, and push it out that way.....it's tough sometimes but be gentle and don't force it
 
There are 8 clips to release, 3 on top, 3 on the bottom and 2 on each side, this shows where they are. They are reachable through the front of the grill [if you have long skinny :censored: Elf fingers] or if you don't mind loosing a bit of :censored:skin . I found that if you release the top 3, and then the 2 side clips, the lower 3 release when you tilt the top of the grill out. Still easier to remove the top cover under the bonnet and release them with a screwdriver whilst pulling from the front, should not take more than 10 minutes.
