Yes
It's held on with the same goop as the badges on the rear.

Not quite the same as removing the rubstrips as originally asked, and already a thread here on the grilles

te the hair dryer heats the glue and makes it soft so its easyer to work with just dont use a paintgun that will ruin ur paint work but the hair dryer is the tool to use just watch what ur doing and ul b fine bud
