I had to replace mine a couple months ago...

There are 3 big clips at the top...Their the clips that are tucked into the bumper-shroud thingy, which u have to give force to pull them out..

on the top-part of the sides there are 2 clips( 1 on each side) that are tucked in the bumper-shroud thingy as well

and then all around the grille are small tabs which are pretty pointless but i guess it keeps the grille in place.

just give it some force and wiggle it out...If your going to buy a new one i would suggest you play with the old one and try putting it back on and take it off, just so you get the hang of it so you dont accidently break the new one...


If you want a picture of the grill, you're probably going to have to wait a bit because i cant seem to find a camera to use...hahaha
