Here's your answer for the grill ...


easy make look at the back of the grill and u will see the S is held in place by little ridges, what to do is gat a flat head screwdriver and put it unter the lug of the S at the back and put it down under the ridge, and push from the front back and it should pop out, as for the crhome surround if its glued doen u can remove it without taking it off the glued part, what to do here is again look at the back and u will see alot of black clips around the surround that is clips for the basic surround in which ur chome is glued onto. thus if u unhook all of these that releases the initial surround and inturn realeases the chrome surround ;) , wee tip: if u paint the S do not coat it twith too much paint as its hard to put back into the grill as its esentially "fatter" so thin coats......good luck, pics when done!!

The mirror covers pop off if you use a plastic screw driver or a credit card / Tesco clubcard to work it off.

To get your mirrors off:
Fold them back and use a screwdriver in the hole underneath to START off with,
as soon as you can, use your fingers to pull the rest off - pull forwards.

think about your mirriors, i personally would get another set of covers and spray then instead of spraying you matching ones incase you dont like then once you sprayed then,
