just push them back a little so the snaps release from the bonnet..they will all realease as you pull the grill and slowly release the tabs...(make sure the 4 screws are removed first.)

gulp, um are those brackets only attached to the grill? Which is only held on by a few plastic snaps? Hella, is this for real? I would be very cautious of this setup....

Solid as a rock!
Thanks for the observations and concerns I was a little worried about that as well, but with the long metal brackets behind them they are solid as a rock with no apparent vibrations. The Hella 500's are extremely light in weight which helps out alot.

i have easily removed the top grill with these instructions, but i couldnt manage to remove the lower grill. i did whatever i can, i nearly spent 1 hour at the garage to figure it out but no way. i also noticed a plug on the left side at the back of the lower grill (maybe a temp sensor or sth. like that , looks like a tiny antenna)
pls help me out!

I think this might help
Go to the Alta website for the new R56 intercooler and click on the instructions. I think this will help. Good luck
