Honeycombe Lower Grill

Post by JC333 »

I’ve noticed my lower grill is damaged. I want to replace it. Firstly where is the cheapest place to get a new one??

I know I could second hand one but depending how much work it is I might just get a new one.

Then most importantly how difficult is it to fit??

I’m hoping I can change it without removing the bumper. If I I have to take the bumper off I might change the intercooler at the same time but I really don’t have the cash to get an upgraded intercooler at the moment.

Its definitely a bumper off job, use a small screw driver to lift the tabs you will aslo need to remove the torq screws fir the top pat of the grille, take you time as the tabs can be brittle.
