dunk Posted June 15, 2013 Share Posted June 15, 2013 I have a zetec s, I want to swap the upper grille for a ST one. Has anyone any experience in doing this? I have seen a comprehensive guide on these forums to changing out an upper grille, but I am unsure if the grilles are an identical fit. Also finding an genuine ford st grille seems almost impossible, do ford even sell them? Sorry if this question has been asked before, Thanks for reading ;) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDCiST Posted December 19, 2013 Share Posted December 19, 2013 Floryfocus, Look at the bottom of this post... And there should be a link to my guide of how to fit the ST grille to your Zetec S. Failing that have a look in the focus guides section! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLORYFOCUS Posted December 21, 2013 Share Posted December 21, 2013 My Zetec grille has gone straight back on with the st bumper! Well I say straight.... Had the same issue with the bonnet lock but I had no grille, bumper, lights etc on the car at the time so was easily fixed using your, what can only be described as life saving, guide!
