Removing the front grille, which features the manufacturer's badge, is very straightforward as it is secured by just four screws and a few clip fasteners. Open the front bonnet and unscrew the two upper fastening screws located at the junction with the headlight.

Next, move on to the lower screws found at the end of the chrome strip near the edges. Once the screws are removed, pry along the lower edge to disengage the press-fit clips and loosen the upper clips to complete the removal.
