leaves behind front grill removal

hey crew, has anyone got any tricks to how you can get in (without having to remove the whole front bumper) and remove leaves and other rubbish that get through the lower mesh and just sit there blocking airflow to the radiator etc? Over time my 2016 C63s has built up a fair bit of crap from leaves to cigarette butts to plastic wrappers and etc and I simply cannot reach down far enough in the gap at the top between the radiator support panel and the bumper itself. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.




would be great! Thanks in advance....

I use a claw spring it's only $7.50 from Supercheap. Took everything out like cigarette buds, leaves, small stones etc. It's the best
