Get the paint stripped off back to the red plastic?

If you want to remove the strip to fix it then you need to take the grille off, 2 screws on the top when the bonnet is up.
and 3 under the number plate plynth if you lie down and look up you see them,
The strip is just held in with clips that you can undo from behind, and push out, do it carefully though as you can snap it easily
