| How to remove front fog bezel on MY 2016 |
|
I’ve searched but can’t find the answer. Before I trash my bezels can anyone tell me how they come out? I just want to plastidip them to get a blacker black pack look. I think they just pry out but tried and got a wee bit nervous...!
Many thanks. PAGODA

Just a couple of plastic trim removal tools are all that's needed.
The 'moulded in' clips are located around the perimeter of the bezel.
Just feed in one tool between the surround & bumper and gently lever.
You'll then be able to suss out where the clips are that are holding it in.
Simply insert the tools at two appropriate clip points and gently lever out.
When I got mine out I separated the silver ring from the bezel, sprayed painted them black, then reinstalled. ...... always on the road less travelled 🚧
< ‘tis but a mere scratch …….. it’ll polish out.

Thanks Ronp.
Funnily enough I saw pics of what you did and am seeking to do just that - great that you commented, as I'd lost the photo of your car!
Can I ask if you had to paint your grille? I have a black gloss grille that has the small silver strip running around the perimeter of the solid part encompassing the vented part of the grille. Do you know if this part be removed from the main part of the grille for easy painting or whether it's just a case of careful masking?
Thanks again.  PAGODA
