Is it possible to remove front grill badge without..........
Removing the front bumper, don't mind if I break it in the process, just want to replace them with some matte ones. Any advice is welcome, thanks

From memory it's held in with flexible plastic lugs that can snap if you lever it off, but fixing the new one on is straight forward - just push it in. So no, you don't have to remove the grille/bumper.

Yes, put your fingers round the back and there is a plastic leg that snaps in place think it's the left looking at the front, the right is hooked round.

Try again, it's peasy. Lever from the side and use something long and thin like a screwdriver. Simplesdenboy1 wrote:Already tried levering it out from the front, no joy though.

If you have a replacement one in your hands you can see exactly what the clips look like and where they are.
