How do you remove 987 side cooling grills?

[Trev450]

Pretty much as the title really.

I want to remove the grills in the rear quarters to have them repainted and was wondering if its a simple DIY job.

yep. can't remember exactly how but they come in and out pretty easily...

I think they're just clipped in - worth looking for a picture of one on the PET parts diagram to see where the clips (tabs integrated into the grille moulding) are.

Numpty time sorry but what's a PET?

Not quite as simple as it seems I broke the little lugs on the grills and had to glue them back on, been OK though.

[Trev450]

So any tips please?
