Pretty sure you can just get the centre honeycomb bit, but I've no idea how you get it out.

I would start by removing the surround by the foglight, this just pulls out with a sharp and firm tug. Do this on either side and I'd imagine the centre grille just pops out in the same way. They are flimsy though, but only £5 if you break one

they are a pain to get out removed the one on my 1.2 and replaced with fr one costa about 20 quid at the most for the middle section grill if you remove the bumper you can get behind and pop the clips out pretty easily or insert a screw drive between the bumper and grill being very careful then turn it and it will compress the clip so you can pull it out!

[moditsteve]

i will try

 

[gazjones]

not bad in ten mins how did you get it off then?

 

[moditsteve]

the mesh is a push on and clip in so as th old one was broken i just cut all the mesh out so i could get to all these holding clips and released them and to fit the new one u just pushed it on and it auto clicks on simple.
wouldnt be so easy if the mesh u are removing was ok and u didnt want to damage it though.
