Start by removing the parking lights using a plastic tool. Use long-nose pliers to remove all the plastic clips.

Grip the clips by the head and gently pull them out to avoid damaging them for reuse. Remove the upper cover protecting the hood latch to access additional fasteners.

Once the bumper is removed, unscrew the screws of the plastic cover that directs air into the radiator and gently remove it to avoid breakage. Unscrew the radiator retaining screws and, being careful of the rigid tubes connected to it, move the radiator forward.

You can now proceed to clean the inside.
