Take the whole grill off, do this by popping the bonnet and removing two torx screws, then two underneath number plate located in lower honeycomb grill facing up.

Once these are out the whole gril will lift out. Then simply remove red strip using a flat head screwdriver to push the red pins out  (from the back of the strip of course) be careful as the strip snaps very easily!!
