Re: Front Grill Surround ?

After the 8 screws (3) have been removed from the upper cover panel (2) there are then 6 tabs which have to be released at the front of the the cover panel. These attach the upper cover to the front grille itself. Three each side.
They are a real tight fit and almost impossible to access. The more you bend and lift up the upper cover to get at them the tighter they become.
I had a quick look behind my grille this morning and I managed to take a few pictures, but were hard to get as there's not a lot of room for access.
To do it properly its gonna be a 'release the bumper and slide it forward job' like EVDan had carried out by his dealer. Its not too difficult a job, just needs 2 or 3 pairs of hands to support the bumper once its moved forward.
Or you could just keep attacking the chrome tabs till they all break off and release the chrome surround !
