I need to take this trim off to get at some rust.
Seems stupid but I cant see any obvious clips/screws to get it off?
Advice please?

Number plate fixings have to be pulled out, then there are some small clips at the top, in line with the number plate lights. To remove these clips, you have to pull up about half of the flat top out. Very difficult to do without breaking them.

Thanks for prompt reply Brian.
Tbh I had a pull at one of these clips and it snapped.
I guess I will get some new clips before trying to get the others out.

Doesn't make a great deal of difference if these clips are left out, TBH!
