yeah defo need to take it off, think its the same as a 1.2 16v, in which case you need to undo the pop screws of the top grill so it can move off the bash bar, then undo the bolts underneath the cars front that are obvious, then there are two more that are in the wheel arches that you need to get behind the plastic arch liner to do. then a bit of tugging and it will pop off. make sure you have a rug infront of it so you dont drop it or scrtch it while it is on the floor.

the headlamps are attached with three very obvious bolts.
hope this helps mate
