Fitting an RS Grill?

[MDP91]

Hey peeps,

Ive finally got my RS Grill, picked it up from the stealers today.

Ive been trying to fit it, and ive been told by Mr Renault that it should be a simple clip on/off job?

However, I cant seem to get the other one off? Any help or tutorials would be great, I just want it on !

Thanks

Just pull it HARD!

Yea, but I dont want to break my bumper, lol I can see little clips, but im finding it impossible to take it off.

Did mine a few weeks ago. Took the two black pins out that are on the top corners and started with the right side at the bottom corner and pushed it in towards the engine and it popped out, then just worked my way along from right to left until it came out.

There was also a plastic cover behind the grille on the left that stops stuff coming through the grille into the alternator, this will need to be un-clipped.

Then just reverse those steps to get it back on. Took me about half an hour to do.

I need help with this too, how much did you pay for the grille?

 

[MDP91]

Ok, I will go and have a look now, thanks

a bit of old fashioned pig ignorance should get it off

 

[MDP91]

Ok, well removed the clips and pushed the bottom right and managed to snap some plastic Its not going to work that way without destorying it.

How do you contact Renault to order one? And how long does it take to arrive?

I went into the showroom and asked at the parts desk, they actually had one in stock, so I bought it then and there. If you have to order a part it normally takes a couple of days, I know from when I bought a new door handel.
