How to remove the hood star??????

[My Nuts]

i have a w202 C280 and iv been for like 30 minutes trying to remove the hood star without destroying it. how the hell do you take it off? it seems harder than it appears

open the bonnet, part of the star fixing is a sprung round clip about an inch in diameter, pull it down and rotate throu 90 degrees. the star can then be removed from the top

Alternatively - take it to chav city - park it and leave it for 5 mins then return. You'll find the star has miraculously gone - mind so will your wheels and wiper blades too

They usually just rip the actual star off and leave the rest of the mechanism intact though!
