[siari7]

Thanks

takes 5 mins... Guide helped me alot

Easier to replace the grille if you remove the front bumper (which takes 10 mins tops)

 

[siari7]

okay! where is the guide?? and removing the front bumper? Do i remove the clips and screws on the inside wheel archs.what else?? the bolts holding the grille under the bonnet?
thankss

It took me 30 seconds without removing the front bumper :S

Same for me, I didn't take the bumper off.

Just remove the two plastic trim clips in the top corner of the grille, then you can pull it forward enough to unclip it from the bottom.

okay! ill have a bash later lool if my grille snaps ill be pissed! haha

 

[Kieran..]

personally i think its easier just to remove the bumper, wont break any the clips then

 

[siari7]

i tried taking it off without having to remove the bumper and i couldnt find which clips you were talking about! :s maybe taking the bumper off is easier!

 

[G3 NYX]

I did it in 10 seconds, old one off new one on, no clips broken... you guys break things to easily, just takes a bit of man lube and your done!

 

[Kieran..]

Well when I took mine off with the bumper I can't see how people would even get them out without taking bumper off the clips were stiff!

 

[siari7]

i wouldnt say man lube was the right word for what u used! well at least i hope not haha! bumper it is, i just need to right alan key for tht flippin bolt on the arch!

I realised after I posted that lol, I just ment a bit of brute force

 

[siari7]

thanks

The grille isn't too bad, I had a mate help me and we got it off within a few minutes... New one was easy to put on... I'm having huge problems with the removing the splitter though and I know i'm gonna end up breaking stuff unless I take the front bumper off entirely.

 

[siari7]

yeh, front splitter is another task ama have to battle lool! tell me, when u took the grille off, where were the clips ?

 

[Clio_Rush]

The splitter is easy. Takes a while, but easy. Pair of pliers gets the staples out at each end, then a screwdriver to get the plugs out, had mine done in ten mins on a rainy day on the road .

I found it quite hard so kicked it and it came off and didn't break anything apart from the old grill
