Front Grille Removal Help
Hi all
Does anyone have detailed instructions including pictures if possible, for the removal of the front grille please?
I want to take the 4 chrome strips off to wrap them gloss black but cant release the tabs on just the strips with the grille still installed on the vehicle. I want to remove the strips to ensure the wrap gets behind them when reinstalled rather than just stuck to the fronts.
I have the radar cruise and assume this would just be a cable but would hope to avoid unplugging it incase it needs resetting by MB after reinstall?
Thanks
Carl

Man really thought I had added the steps to my Panda Build thread.
You will need to take the whole grill out. If I recall remove rubber seal trim and then can remove the plastic pop rivets to remove a trim piece. Once done can reach behind grill and push down and some push up if I recall to release the bar part of the grill. I have Distronic too and no need to mess with it the plug was a pain for the front cam if you have 360cam.
Once removed you can further seperate but I didn’t.
I didnt go into that much effort when i wrapped mine but still turned fine for me.
