   Do they clip off? after a bit of force?
   
   No need to unscrew the bolts near it?
   
   *Got a dimma grill i want to a fit, Im unsure whether to bash the clips out the bonnet for where the oe grill is held*
   
   or do it another way

   I need to know this as well, currently getting it sprayed
   
   remember mate when you cut the mesh to fit the grill, remember to leave a gap for the bonnet catch!

   the new grill's already meshed up.
   
   if i gotta unscrew the original bolts, may need to drill them, as the screw holes r dooshed to fuckery

   Do you mean the thread or the screws themselves?

   In order to remove the grill from the car.. you lift the bonnet... and remove the torx screws from the inside.. i think there are 7 in total...
   Once the screws are out.. you have to push the grill out from the back.. unlatching the catches as you push..
   Make sure you use a torx screwdriver... and they should come out easily... even if they appear a little rusty...
   
   Hope that helps..

   I dont actually understand what you got a problem with mate. Explain a bit more and I might be able to help you as I have recently meshed my grill.
