X290 bonnet vent/grill removal

[Mr Rusty]

Has anyone removed the black plastic bonnet grill from an X290. I have removed the plastic cover inside the bonnet, the 10mm nuts from the outer grill, to gather with the pinching and pushing through the lugs on the outer grill BUT the thing is still stuck. Maybe there are lugs I am not seeing.

There are two plastic ‘scrivets’ under the grill that need to be removed. I ended up drilling them out and then it was easy to unclip from the lower bumper frame. Look like this eBay. Or maybe you mean the grill inset into the bonnet itself??

Thanks for the reply Mark. I do mean the grill inset into the bonnet itself.
