Debadged mine without taking off the bumper and it was a 2 minute job. One end came off easily with some fiddling with very small jewellery/mobile phone screwdrivers to get under the clips. The other end came off with a bit of leverage.

Persevere, I'm sure you'll get it off.

After reading again he may be talking about ghe rings?
Never had those off

Yes I thought we were all talking about the rings. The answer is still the same, it can be taken off from the front but chances are you'll snap a couple of the plastic clips that hold it on. So as long as you don't intend on reusing it then it's no problem. Unless it is glued on of course but I can't imagine why anyone would glue it on unless they had a couple stolen or something like that.

This.

I assumed the rings badge - maybe a previous owner had some legacy ones stolen hence gluing these on. The very ones denboy is trying to remove...

Does it not move away from the grill at all? It really isn't that difficult especially if you don't mind snapping clips.

Will give it another go tomorrow and we'll see what the outcome is.
