Points taken,

But I think it kind of adds something "sporty" to the grill, although the shape of the honeycomb isnt a 100% match for the lower, which is a shame...


I have other things planned for the grill still ;)

Did you paint the Seat badge yourself?
If so, what paint did you use, was there much prep and did you remove the "S" or just mask it off?

I'm probably being an idiot but am struggling to get the grill off.

Once I've taken off the top plugs I can't seem to pull it forward enough to get a good view into the back to unhook the "clippy things" in picture 6.

Any advice? I feel like Im putting a lot of pressure on it already and don't want to damage it.

Thanks for putting the guide on here. Had a bit of an issue to start with trying to find the 2 side clips and then trying to get them unclipped! Managed to unclip them in the end without the use of a screwdriver, just used my hands through the front of the grille.

Can't believe how much of a difference it makes to a red Leon.

"The grill is also held in place on each side by two clippy things, best way of releasing these is with a long flat screw driver, try & ease them out gentle, maybe a squirt of WD-40 to help. (cant believe how dirty its got in a day)"

where are these clippy things you use a flat bladed screwdriver on??? I cannot find mine to remove the grill. I am ready to snap the whole grill trying to remove it.[:@]

Like the honey comb but not sure it would suit my car with aero kit. ?

Also the gloss black grill looks good on a black car , Mine is gloss black with black "S" But soon to be carbon :p

I pretty much just pull mine off! Because i've had different grills on and off the clips aren't as tight as when i first got it so its a hell of a lot easier
