Is it the black plastic panel you are trying to remove?

If so - remove the whole grill and your see the inner studs are plastic, push them through with a screw driver - maybe use a little wd40 and then pull the plate surround off.

If youve got something else on top of the std plastic one - your on your own! :) Sorry!

Front grill off. You'll never get the lugs out of the holes. Push them out from the back.
