Upper Front Grille Removal

Post by MichaelGallagher »

Just wondering if it's possible to remove the front top grill without the need to remove the whole front bumper. Is it just a case of in doing the top torx screws and unclipping the bottom? Or is there hidden screws? Looking to replace it with a glosss black on like this. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PT-GRILLE-GLO ... Sw5cNYPrgp

Thanks.

Remove the two screws. Unclip the upper part of the grill. Then a good solid grip and the bottom clips will come loose.
Very easy!
