Open the bonnet and remove the three screws which hold the top of the grill to the slam panel.
Then pop a screwdriver between the top of the bumper and the bottom of the grill while pulling the grill away from the car, the bottom of the grill should clip out.
The shitty part is where the grill is attatched by two screwed clips under the lights, I tryed to undo mine by lying under the car and putting my arm up between the bumper and engine bay, couldnt get to them with a spanner so used force just to pull the grill off, I dont advise it cos u could snap the plastic, luckily mine came of with no damage.
Best of luck!:cheers:

It's easier to just pop the indicators out. Open the bonnet and they can be popped out fairly easy. This gives quite a nice big access to the 10mm nuts at the ends of the grille unit...
