The link to the archive is the key as well as a selection of long thin sturdy slotted screw drivers.

I used the lens as a pivot point and levered the clips off head on a bit risky but needs must as you can see in the pics I chipped the lens where the clip would not give up its grip without a fight, also you'll notice that drilling the heads off the bolts is a bit tricky and can easily get messy but no doubt I'll sort it out and post my pics later on.

I would also point out that in order to remove the black plastic trim between the grille an and the headlamp unit I had to use pliers to turn the screws side on about 90 degrees at a time as the heads where passed it and to be honest the clearance is poor and you cant really get a good enough purchase on the screws with a 'stubby Philips' in that confined area unless the screw heads where really in good nick.

Many thanks to Mike Brace I am his your debt sir.
