yea drop the bumper off n they will be just clipped in, you can get em out without takin it off im sure but you'll more than likely butcher it

i've removed mine a few times whilst on the car using a blunt kitchen knife. it was connected by the plastic triangular wedge things and just manged to force them out using the knife by levering it down and pulling forward on the insert.

yeah, i managed to get it out in the end without removing the bumper. pissed off though as the bump strip i ordered is just too small so wondering if its from a newer model clio as ive noticed there are 2 kinds of front bumper (3 inc sport bumpers)

 

[Middo]

what year is your clio? your right in thinking they modified the front bumper on 04plates and onwards.
