I am wanting to remove the radiator grille from my Cooper S. I can see how the main grille comes off but not sure how the small one on the bumper is fixed. Is it bolted or just stuck on?

I believe it is glued in, but wait for a guru before you take your hairdryer to it

The wee bit is held in place by small tabs, to get this off you have to remove the bumper and squeeze the tabs down to be able to release it

The one on my 03 MCS was glued on...........it was a nightmare to get off :argh: but with gentle persuasion it was gone :thumbs up:

yeah, it's not that hard, but if you are going to re-use the grill, just try and not break the tabs... If you aren't reusing the lower grill, sometimes breaking the tabs can make it easier to get out.. ;)
