Top RS Grill:

open the bonnet and on the top left there is a black plastic screw type, remove that, and the same on the opposite side.
then tap the bottom right of the grill and it will pop off then go right round the grill and pop it out, its easy,

Bottom grill:
really you need the bumper off, but i have managed to do it withouth tho, as i dont have the plastics underneath its easier, so you need to somehow unclip about 8-10 clips on the grill and off it comes,

fog surrounds:
remove the fog light itself, then use a butter knife with a cloth and pop one side of the light and then just pull with your hands, should work itself lose, do the same for other side,

Are the fog surrounds attached to the Fog lights? Or just the bumper.
Sounds easy lol. Will shall c if guess.
Cheers mate for that!

Where abouts are the clips on the bottom grill?

 

[Scunny_182]

Any1 know where the clips are?

Fog surrounds just pull out, lower grille just has clips top and bottom iirc, but easier removing the bumper to get at them.

i take it these are going to be painted, been looking at ur other thread, would u key the plastic first and use a primer or just paint directly onto the plastic?

 

[Scunny_182]

The upper grill I just cleaned n painted but repainted dye to me not liking the colour. When I do the rest am just gunna clean, prime n spray coz it's not smooth plastic it should stick fine

still, i'd rub down before applying any paint imo

 

[Scunny_182]

Ok I might do lol, i should tho. Depends on the plastic when I have a close look at it.

 

[VIICarCare]

even a quick rub down just to etch the plastic for the paint to stick to is better than nothing

Yeah true true
