According to Bentley you gently tap the centre of the black grill towards the radiator and the chrome rings come outward.

To replace, you snap the two together and press them in from the front.

I've never done it before but it sounds pretty straight forward. You probably have to remove that plastic shroud on top of the radiator

it a little more complicated then that.... it is a fairly easy thing to do it's just a pain in the butt. the top radiator comes off with four screws and two plastic rivets (or that what was in mine) then that top cover comes off real easy, you might have to disconnect the air inlet hose. now you will be able to see the back of the grills you will notice the there are 2 clips on the top and bottom and one of each side. start at one side and push in one of the clips and push and the black part of the gills and pull on the chrome side, and work you way around the whole grill until the come out. i can post some pic's of the removal process if you'd like as i did the blackout project last week
