Lower bumper grill

[Scott™]

The lower grill covering the rad on the front, can it be removed without removing the bumper?

I've not had a proper look but I'm guessing not?

Mine was changed last year with the bumper off. I would say its probably possible to do it without removing the bumper but it would be a kingsize pain in the jacksy.

Any idea how Ron?

I'm guessing you'd have to get your hand up behind it somehow as there are sort of clips to undo if I remember correctly.

Why don't you just whip the bumper off mate. It's east enough to get off.

bumper off, i did it with the bumper on and its a royal pain in the rear to do!

not much space bettween rad and bumper from underneith to move your hands

Yeah this is exact what I thought.

it wouldnt be so bad if the grill wasnt held in by stupid plastic lug things that dont bend easy.
think i still had to use a heat gun and screw driver on the other bumper to remove it ffs

I've had previous with bumper removal lol. And I found it a pain in the arse. Haha.

I managed to get mine off without removing the bumper, and i need it off again soon and im not looking forward to it. It is possible but its difficult

What a cnut of a thing!

how do you approach removing it? From underneath?

 

[LiamR172]

A bit of both for me! Some of my clips were already out which made it a little easier but it was still a pain!

Managed to get my arm in underneath and get some clips along the top undone then the bottom ones from the front IIRC!
It was a while ago though so i cant remember 100%
