my grill looked as though it was glued previously, two of the clips were broken, i just used some wire ties and made a few small holes to make it sit, is perfect now, maybe think bout doing the same???

No, thats the thing its not glued in.
It has about 2mm of play in it, but still wont budge...  >:(

so its just really hard to squeeze the clips? um.. try pliers to help squeeze the clip maybe? ahh.. i know some of the clips in the pintara are a pain in the arse.. but usually they budge after a little while..  make sure your pushing the grille back towards the engine when undoing the clips so that you can use that 2mm free play to help with clearance when squeezing the clips.. it might just be the case of giving it a bit of a jiggle once the clip is squeezed?

yeah try pointy nose plyers, they're great at getting the grille clips on the right angle to get them out. Good luck :)

i just push the clips down with a flathead screwdriver on all four clips. Just gotta make sure they dont clip back in.

Push the clip down from the top with the screwdriver and pull on the gill toward you. should clip out?

anyway, best of luck!
