UK345 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Hi im looking to replace the front grill on my fiesta for a chrome one that is often found on ghia models. My question is how do i remove the old grill and fit the new one ? Obviously i dont want to damage either of them as when i sell up the plastic one will be returning onto the car. I had a look today and looks like it just sort of pulls off, is this right or is there a special way to avoid damaging it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazjs Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Unclip the small lugs at either side, make sure the bonnet latch is not in the way and give a good pull, there are about 4 clips run along the bottom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talksy Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 Good evening. Is there any way of getting the grill off whilst the bonnet is down? I don't know how it has happened but I have managed to get the bonnet release catch stuck behind the grill so I can't open the bonnet. In the guide it shows the bonnet must be open to remove the grill. Am I going to have to resort to snapping it off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FAN70M Posted January 3, 2011 Share Posted January 3, 2011 If you can, try and push your bonnet back down to make the catch push itself back in, they a slight push on your grill to get it back in place, and then lift the bonnet as normal ? the Grill itself will just unclip as Gazjs said, two clips at either side on the top and a few on the bottom of the grill ! Good luck ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
talksy Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Thanks Fan70M. I think when I took the headlight and grill out the other day to change my side light, I must have put the grill on without releasing the catch. And now it is stuck behind.When I push the bonnet back down, the catch retracts as you say, but not completely and it is getting caught. I might just have to give the grill one hard pull and hope it comes out with out damage. Silly me. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
