AFAIK it just pulls out.... youll need a plastic wedge of some sorts OR if your carful a screw driver to pry it of the clips!

Bit of a resurrection, but can someone just confirm how to do this as I want to wrap my GT grill - top and bottom.

Had my grill off the other day mounting number plate surrounds, need to lift the bonnet and take out the 2 screws holding it at the top and then take out the 2 screws hidden inside the top of the honeycombe grill in the centre and then lift it off the car, didn't take the lower section out but looks like its just a case of levering it out and lifting it up and forwards to remove from the car

hope this helps

Just make sure you remember the 2 screws under the number plate plynth area, if you lie down and look up at the grill you will see it.
Bottom part just pulls out with clips, no screws involved.

Just bumping this up to save starting a new topic. Does the main grill need removed before the lower 1 can be taken out? I've tried pulling it but cannot get the thing shifted!

Bottom grill is clipped in. I use a trim removal tool wedged in to force it to unclip.

I think the 2 bottom screws from the top grill screw through the bottom grill
