RS Grille

[AshleyWatters]

My RS grille came today and i quickly had a look on how to replace it and i didnt have a clue i managed to take the 2 screws out and then there are some clips but i didnt want to force anything, do i need to take the front bumper off or? Helpppp please!!!!

Hey Ashley,
Yeh I think the best thing to do is to Remove the bumper
which I didn't do and broke all the clips on the old grill lol you should find it easier that way.
Here's the link I used to help me remove the bumper.

You dont have to take the bumper off and I personally didn't take it off, I managed to get my original grill off with all clips intact except one (not bothered though), only took about 10 minutes, here: http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showt...ighlight=grill

You can take it off without removing bumper, however putting it back on is not easy so just removed the bumper which took no more than 5 mins

Okay I might just play it safe and remove the bumper thanks for all the help, Ash

Really, when i did mine, the whole process took about 10 minuted without taking bumper off.

Fitting the RS one was easier than removing the old one

I'm still having trouble putting my grill on, just can't seem to get the clips to all clip in. Really doing my head in

Remove the bumper it makes things so much easier.

I tried removing mine the other day to give it a coat of satin black,
I got it half off then gave up, took me about 5 mins to clip it back on, proper pain in the arse.

I'm just going to mask it up and spray it without removing it, I nearly lost the will to live trying to get it off.

[AshleyWatters]

yeah there abit of a pain, i think im going to attempt it tomorrow, fingers crossed!!

I took mine off last night in about 2 minutes. However refitting it was a bit of a pain and I broke a clip but you can't tell so it's not a big deal..

Just reach in and push the clip up while pushing the grill from the front and do each one in turn and it should come off easy enough.

i managed to take mine off and fit the rs grill in around 10-15 mins in the dark. its really easy, a big hit either side of the grill loosens it and it then just slips off and then slot it back in and pull towards the front to clip it back in.
