Yup the grille is just held on by 4 clips across the top of it.
Quick and easy, I tend to take mine out to dry it off after washing my car.

The badge is separate. I think the grills are less than £30 delivered. The red line is a mod which some some ppl have done themselves.

get sonme coil-overs mate. They can be fitted by a garage or if your keen do it yourself, you will need some spring compressors though!
