How would i fitt this? [editted - need help read last post]!!

Hi everyone.

Ive wanted a chrome outline of the centre front gril for a while, and came across this on fleabay:

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8047665175&fromMakeTrack=true

I only want to fit the centre section as i dont like the look of the sides. How would i go about fitting this? Is it an easy job?

Any info on fitting would be great so i can decide whether or not to buy.

The seller has already agreed to drop the postage cost, so £25 all in.

Thanks!

the centre bit is just clipped it, so pull out the old one and push in the new one.

yep unclip, and push in the new one, i did this few weeks ago.

jus check wit dave on the price for front grille tho, im sure mine was about £23

jus to note, with my cupra bumpers the grille was a VERY tight fit.

So easy in job then? Great!

Im still knocking the price down of this, i know dave quotes 23.49 or something, then postage which brings up to dealer price of £26.99.

Ill just have to see what happens to this auction.

Thanks a lot, i just went to go have a look under the bonnet, and on top of the centre section, it looked like two pegs, do i just prise these off somehow and the grill pops out?

 

[j.a.kelly]

yeh i think thats pretty much it! It will come out...i know its a bit worrying @ first...i was worried coz i didnt wanna break anything!!

JK

 

[MK8]

exactly, but its not like i'm going to pay stealers price, £21 for .5 hrs labour to fit!

Will give it a go, just got to wait and see i i get the part!

Cheers JK, like your photos of Motor show aswell, the ibiza looks tasty!

the two clips at the top are like expanding rivets, prise the centre peice out first then the other bit should come out easily

Any help PLEASE!!! i want to get it done to see what it looks like, im v. impatiant !

[gazjones]

yea the pop out then there are some clips around the out side of the grill that are hard to get to i had to take my bumper off to get mine out but i was doing side grills as well

 

[MK8]

Got the poppy things out (well my dad did), cant actually removethe grill!!! im not taking my bumper off i dont know how!!!

Just cant take the centre grill out of place now...who said it was easy?!

 

[j.a.kelly]

fingers crossed and PULL!! lol

JK

 

[MK8]

Out as is in forward directly away from the car yeah?

 

[MK8]

I got the clips out, and cant see how to get the grill away from the car! just dont wanna break or scratchanything

 

[T. Spark]

Dude this many a time it will be stiff if its the first time... aye aye

Pull hard slightly up tho, as to not scratch the front on exit!

 

[MK8]

So no need for any screwdrivers or any tools to unclip anything?? Seemed like it, ive got the new grill so i was going by that, looked like there was clips. ill give it another go, sorry everyone, im the amatuer of amatuers

 

[T. Spark]

Have you took the two clip like thingy from the top of the picture? The rest of it is sorta just slipped in as such,

I can only go with what I do which was rag it out
