Ok completed the job and wow you were not jokeing about it being tough..... 1stly there are 4 really tough press studs that need removing then the torque screws. This is the easy part. Part 2 managed to depress the 3 top clips and on side one.... Cut up both arms.... After about 1h of tiring to release the biggest trim clips at the bottom it became apparent that I needed to use brute force and used a bent skewer to release one tab then puller the grill away using my hands rather than tools. Eventually pulled out the silver retro trim and this gave more space for removal of the other side. Would I do it again yeah it makes a massive difference to the look but would actually break the old retro grill slats off as it's much easier that way!!!!
