removing the front diamond

[rags]

does the front diamond just easily unclip? thinking of spraying it, and also whats the best way to spray it? undercoat, paint and laquer or could i just get away with spray painting it

Agreed pull it firmly and it should pop off (well it will if you have a 172/182ff, 172/182 cup style clio with it attached to grill)

If you break the tabs just use no more nails or similar to fix it back on

I'm unsure how it comes off on the earlier clio 172's, as its on the bonnet

And primer , paint and lacquer should do it
