N1 Vent Removal

[GTR32GUS]

i want to remove my fog lights and to do so i have to remove those rectangles vents from the front bar. How are they held in are they glued in or do they have clips , i had a go at pulling them out but started to get worried about braking them , are there any tricks to get them out

I have the genuine type N1 vents in my GTR bar. They are held in place by 4 (each) spring clips which are permanently attached to the vent. Basically they are pushed into from the front and auotomatically 'lock' in place. Getting them out from the front without damaging the clips, the bar or the vents themselves would be very difficult, if not impossible. Sorry to say, but it's best to remove the bar and then release the clips from the back.

OTOH, if you have aftermarket vents, they will probably be bonded in place and the situation will be worse (ie impossible to get out with out damaging them or the bar).

I cant remove the bar as the fog light bolts go through the front bar and the bumper , look like i will be buying some new vents
