planning on smoking my fogs tomorrow and spraying my chevrons black.

I done my grille with black mesh but kept the chevrons silver but seen a few with black chevrons and looks smart, thinking of doing mine black now but cant be assed to take the grille off to get the chevrons off lol.

Not sure tbh, when i took the grille off to mesh it it, the chevrons were clipped on and i had to fiddle about with them to get them off and were a bloody tight fit when i pushed them back in too.
If there simple to get off then ill spray them up, just dont want to break them off lol.

They just pop off, literally 2 seconds to get them off
Use a thin flat head screw driver and just pry them off, then they just clip back on :y:
