You need to take the front grille off to get at the clips from the back!  :wink:

Once youv'e got the grille off you will need a small screwdriver to poke the cilps through from the back!  :happy2:

Anyone know the part number for these clips? Possibly got a copy of EKTA to hand?

I poked the clips on mine from the front and lost one of the little buggers.

Be careful if picking up these clips from the stealers - the replacement ones supplied now and with the part number from ETKA are completely different from the OEM ones that came on my '07 Ed30, and are way too big to fit??!
