   1st thing.....im cutting up the standard grille so i can mesh it and leave the chevrons.....except im not sure what to use you cut the slates with.....ive got the bottom parts off, its just the top bits im a little stuck with.
   
   2nd thing is gettin apart the headlights and fogs.....just can't do it! on the fogs ive tried oven, boiling water, heat gun and oven and heat gun on the headlights! just not happening at all. So merly wondering what else i can try....or if anyone is willing to take them apart for me
   
   3rd thing....the clutch seems to come back up very quickly, its real stiff....am i able to change this as my leg actually aches after a while of trying to hold a biting point lol (SHOULD BE SORTED)

   stick the lights in the oven for longer and they should come apart

   i've not dont it myself but 10 mins is about right. not sure about temp though. the glue should melt and you should be able to peel them apart

   Try using a hot knife to prise them apart after they have been in the oven..

   a proper heat gun (Not your hairdryer) and a knife baz
   
   start at one spot, soft the glu, stick the knife in and start heating the glue
   
   as you go round, start to pull the glass away from the light and youll see the grey glue
   
   get the heat gun on the glue and it start to come apart
   
   it takes a while though
