Front grills

[dezy]

Dear PEOE2, now I got it.

One last dumb question... so I have also got to remove the plastic cover on top as well to access the clips. Will try this weekend.

BTW, did you primed the black inserts before spraying?

That's correct.

I haven't painted mine but yes i recommend you use a primer first.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

ok guys, I tried to pull it out over the weekend and it just couldn't come out. In the process, I scratched the chrome as well. Frustrated I went to the local parts store and enquire for a new grille and they gave me a chrome version. I never expect that it came with chrome at the edge and gloss black at the slate... I was delighted. Best of all it only cost ~USD 50 each... Floored my car to my regular workshop and they dismantle the bumper and fit it on for me.

Here are the pix.
