hi there,

You on the right track mate but you still need to remove 6 plastic clips that attached front grill with the bumper as you can see from the pic.
All 6 red airrows are points that you have to push it from the back to release the front grill.

Tip. Dont push it too hard otherwise you will break it. Using flat type screw would help.

Hope I could help.. :wave:

p.s. I got this pic from some honda official site which I couldnt remember where I got it. so let's say credited to honda site..:thumbsup:

Or may be just take some snap shot of it and post it here so I might able to give you more specific advise. :thumbsup:

You might try the heat gun that use when you install the window tint.

You just blow hot air to glued area and hope that heat would make glue softer so you can remove the grill more easily. :thumbsup:

I am curious as to how the glue got there in the first place. Yours is the only one I have heard of with glue on it.

Yeah, I think so. Did you let any shop fix it before?

Hi, Claymore :wave: I'm Thai but live in Melbourne. Nice to know you here:D
