I would just force it out and buy new clips... I think the clips are cheap! Like under $1 each... thats USD

WAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! YES YES YES !!! A SUCCESS !!! I managed to install the gill guys !!!! After I removed the top rubber strip, access to top clips was a breeze. Then I stared at the lower and side clips for like 20 min trying to figure out how to reach them. When Im about to give up, out of no where, an idea light bulb came on *ding*. I was to cut out the vertical fins to allow my whole hand to gain access to the back of the grill. I did the cutting with a long wire cutter. As I cut out the second fin, I broke integrity of the grill's inner ring (the black color part). Once that's broken, and to my surprise, the whole grill just fell apart, clips and all. It was then a no brainer, just pull out the remains and BAM ! grill removed !!! If not counting the staring part, the whole exercise took 10 mins.
After having the new grills in the trunk for almost a month and not knowing what to do and finally....Oh the satisfaction.......
Btw, did u watch the race? The Alpha Romeo won the first round.......then came second round, it just dropped dead. I guess Alpha still has to work on its cars. Also I didn't know the Alpha is a FWD 
And how about the SEAT, I think it's a future contender. I was hoping to see the new 3 series but instead it's still the old model. Maybe next year.

So you broke your old gills... hahah
Do you not need to access the back to secure the clips again when isntalling new ones?

He sleeps outside... I've never seen him sleep. NEVER! When I look hes always up and just sitting there.
I take him in the house for a few hours a day during the evening time.

I actually hv two rabbits. One I picked up from a pet store and the other I rescued from a park. One's a lop (u've seen his pic), the other is a Rex. Good thing they get along quite well. The lop roams free in the house 24/7, the Rex has to stay in a cage cuz she's not toilet trained. I luv having rabbits as pets. They're perfect for city folks like me. They sleep during the day (while Im at work), and come out to play at night (when I go home). HKG isn't really a dog friendly place IMO.
Oops way off topic, sorry.
Ok, I'll hv to say, the car looks really good with the new grill

Really? I love rabbits... I had a few white ones before when i was little but dont know what kind they were... they were just regular white rabbits with big pink ears.
This one is a dwarf. I adopted him from my friend. She moved and wasnt able to keep him so I took him.
Ya I know... OT... but anyone want to complain?
