Scurrminator

Hi Steve That is super useful thankyou. It did look like it just unclipped but didn't want to test it too much and damage the grille. I shall attack it gently with a Flathead screwdriver soon and see how I get on. One thing - the pdf doesn't seem to have attached. Never mind got it working now! I'm moving to a VW Tiguan. Need a bigger family size SUV and the Audi Q range just does nothing for me unfortunately :-( I will be back to Audi one day though once the little one is bigger; this car was amazing! Nick (not sure where Rob came from!)

Hey all i purchased my A3 a few years ago and ever since then the paint has been slowly chipping away on the grille surround. I suspect that this was a poor custom job as underneath is the regular chrome style. I wish to sell the car soon so need to rectify this by either stripping the paint off or touching it up. Is the surround easy to remove? I know taking the whole grille off is a HUGE pain. Also any suggestions on how to remove the paint would be grand! Added some images; sorry for the dirt a3 fans!
