G05 M-trim air intake finisher removal

theove · 03-30-2024, 04:26 PM

I have the right one damaged. I want to replace it and feel a few release tabs but it won't come off. Has anyone tips for me or a newtis guide?
Thanks in advance!

I had to remove my bumper to remove the cerium gray trim next to your circled piece.
Was definitely a pita but there are a ton of tabs to loosen the piece from. Can only really be done from inside as they are tight and layered inside.

I didn’t take any pictures but you’ll see once you remove the front bumper.

Thank you. Finally I managed to remove it without removing the front bumper with the use of plastic pry tools and masking tape.
