Sorry for bringing this thread back from the dead. I'm having some problems removing the grille. I've removed all the bolts and now I need to disengage the claws. How do I do that? The ones from the bottom are not visible so how do I disengage those ones? The grille won't budge.

The easiest way I found was just taking off the bumper. Next time I do it I'll make a DIY.
If you have a 10mm wrench or socket and a phillips screwdriver you can take off the bumper. I'm sure there is a DIY for that somewhere. After that, taking the grille and grille surround apart is pretty simple.

I have all the tools but really don't want to attempt to take the bumper off...I think it will be putting it back on that troubles me, I always get stuck on those steps
