Lancia Delta Red Grill Trim Removal

[scrambley]

Hi I'm wanting to change the red grill insert on my 16v delta on the front of the car, does anyone know how to remove it easily without damaging it

You need to remove the whole grill assembly from the car.

With the bonnet open there are three screws along the top of the grill securing it to the body, remove these and then close the bonnet. The grill then pulls forwards and is held by a clip in each bottom corner.

With the grill removed looking from behind you should see some tabs of the stainless surround that fix it to the main black plastic body. Bend these up so that the stainless part can be separated from the plastic body. The red trim is sandwiched between the two parts.

3 screws hidden under rubber strip which is just stuck on . Did it on mine a while ago.
