Using a flathead screw driver, some firm pressure and love.... push out the silver coloured tabs which remove the entire chrome part of the grill  5. Here's the grill in two parts  6. Here's the badge off  7. And here it is in it's first two coats of primer  8. Finished

| Re: Mini How-To: Spray the Octavia grille from the lack of pics im gonna guess its the mk2 octy? if its the first one you dont need to drill anything out. all ya need to do is undo it as per the hex bit then use a flatblade screwdriver to gently pry the clips open enough to pop the silver insert out. did it recently...(see "what do you drive" thread 2nd page)
