need help, how the hell do you take off the front grill with out snapping it under the lights?, 3 screws on the top and cant get it off from there... dont want to force it in case it snaps, is there other screws or an easier way to get it off?

those bolts are for the bumper. its just the 3 screws at the top that hold it in.

Pulled out of the full de-badge thought the S would look good with the mesh, pleased with the results, even if its sounds like some are against the hole meshing idea lol :D

i just cant justify spending 30 quid on a bit of plastic that probably cost 4 quid and 5 minutes to make in a mould.

Basically what you're saying is, Rather than do the job properly you'll hash it up?

Thats like bodging important fixes on your car
