Does anybody know if the louvres are removable?

I don't know.
If they are though, remember that that plastic may be brittle and may easily break while trying to remove them.
This is surely something that can be replaced by means of a 3D printer but then colour-matching becomes something to think long and hard about.
 
There is a notch visible at the front from underneath that seems to be glued and some residual adhesive on the two sides. I removed mine by accidentally dropping the back case on the floor. It hit the carpet and the louvre popped out. This is not the approved method I am sure. :) They appear to be wedged in with minimum adhesion but are no doubt fragile. I haven’t tried to intentionally remove one but I’ve seen 3D printed replacements on the world wide interweb.
 
Warning not for Plus lovers ! Watch away…

all my donor macs had very tight louvres 😆
But I managed to harvest one after two tries

First I wanted to drop a Plus but I don’t want to ruin my floor 🤣
