Front Grill Removal
Just tried to remove the front grill on my 15 plate HSE to access the headlights. Followed instructions in hand book (i.e., release four upper clips and lift out the grill) but it wouldn't come free. As its only thin plastic I didn't want to pull too hard!!! Is there a knack to this or am I missing something. Any advice welcome.

Yes D4 is different, no lower clips to release like the D3, just a tug at the bottom each side as others have said. D3 grill removal is certainly easier and you don't feel that you're about to brake something.Stu

It does need a bit of a yank. Yes, it is a little flimsy but so far with mine it's stood up to it.
