    IIRC 2 clips at the each end the grill under the headlight. then 2 slightly further in that go into the bumber which need to be pushed forwards/backwards then pulled up. and then the clips at the top of the grill which you can see. someone please correct me if im wrong.

    the two at the top... does it just pull, or do i have to unscrew something, or does it slide up, or what?

    you either just pull or there will be some little metal clips holding it in place. if you pull the metal clips will just be forced off anyway.

    ive got it now anyway - it was realising how the clips along the top removed.. simple when you know how!
    all i wanted to do was free the airflow up a bit through to the radiator and the air feed to the airbox.. everything was sooo restrictive.. a lot better now though
    cheers dan
