'Squeeze' them in the centre, and they should pop off.....

...I would open the hood (bonnet), and put your hand underneath them and push up, while holding the top surface.

I would advise against tools as you may mark the paint, unless you are very careful with a towel...

i pushed mine from underneath

don't bother replaceing the foam - the new (modified) ones only cost around £8 for the pair from the dealers - no foam as the design is different
