This is a little tricky... I used a long thin flathead screwdriver and inserted it in the left and right side clips. This allowed you to go into those slots and release the clips that are in there. Once each clip is released the grill comes out cleanly.

If I can find my install directions from the gialla, I will post it somewhere for you... no promises on that one though

There is a square screw head inside the slot. Use a flashlight and shine it in the hole. You will then be able to see what you are aiming for. I did not even notice the head of the screw (plastic btw) prior to using the light. All you have to do is give the screw a 1/4 turn to get the square shape of the screw head to lign up with the shape of the hole (one is offset, think of it as a square standing on one of it's points). Hope that helps.

its there....if you look at the right and left sides right abot the grill......there is a hole.....if you look through there there is a little square screw, you have to get a flat head that fits in there and turn it 1/4 of the way left of right and then pull the grill.....took me a while to find it as wel.....good lck man!
