im spraying my bottom grilles today
took the grilles that surround the fogs off ok but having trouble with bigger grilles that sits between them
im guessing it just needs a bit of force but id rather play the safe card and ask the professionals
thanks

The larger grill is clipped on all the way around the edge, 4 or 5 top & bottom. Easiest way is to take the front bumper of partially and push out from the inside. Thats how is did mine. Clips were well tight. A lot of people just yank it out and sacrafice a few clips getting broken. Doesn't take long though, few screws under wheel arch and a couple on the front and then just tilt it down slightly, hope this helps.
