Front number plate surround removal

Post by TrysullRS » Sun Apr 22, 2018 11:28 am

Struggling with this one!
Removed the front plate and then unscrewed the 2 torx screws holding the surround, but the surround still seems to be stuck hard to the front grille.
Is there also a back fixing, or is it just a case of giving it a good yank....!
Cheers!

Lift up at the same time as the fixing mounts hook over the honeycomb.

That'll do it, as there is no back fixing and you don't have to get behind the grill to realise it - easier than it first looks to move it and fit a smaller plate/holder.
