Gen 2 Front Grille removal

[Tonka]

Hi there, I've just spent the last hour trying to get the front grille removed, but can't get it off. Do the headlights need to be removed? I can disconnect the top fixings, but it's still held fast.

Mind you it's dark now outside, better try again tomorrow......

hi,

there's a little clip from the grill to the mount of the light...

where the grill (like in the pic) mounts the light the clip is in the centre
you can see one of the clips still in place on the mount in the background

I'd already taken the side lights out and i can't remember if there were any screws behind it....i can check if no one else knows as i have the grill boxed in my lounge


hope that helps

HI Andy

Is the clip you are talking about at the top of the light/grill? Or hidden down below somewhere?

I can disconnect all the fixings at the top of the grill (only 2 of these are actually fixings on the far right and left, the others are just interference fits), but it still doesn't come away.

EDIT: Just found this

so I'll have another go tomorrow armed with that info.
