iv seen this somewhere int this forum, but if i can remember there are 2 ways of doing it. the first you simply just push the grill through and break some clips but the other way is to run a screwdriver round the grill to locate the clips. then u pop the clips using the screwdriver. hope this helps!

Another way is to loop 2 pieces of wire (any kind will do) through either end of the grille. Grab hold of the wire and pull out the grille.

Maybe. When I did it, I managed to break a couple when I changed my grille.

Easiest way it to take off the bumper - removal process is detailed in 6n2 sidelight removal in DIY guides. The clips hook over the inside of the bumper and are next to impossible to get out - beleive me, i tried for ages. The bumper removal and refit takes under 30 mins to do :)
