hi

bought a new grille for my mk7 fiesta cheap and should be here tomorrow so im going to try and fit it this weekend but how is it removed ?

a guide would be great :)

thanks.

Should of asked me mate.

Start at top left hand corner, quick tug with right hand whilst holding surrounding facia with left palm. Work your way clockwise. Fairly straight forward.

cheers :)

Nope, you gotta keep pulling even when you think it'll break!*

*I hold no responsibility if it actually does break :P

yes this is true mate,

its the same on the focus, i have done a guide on it listed below this post,

push the bumper with one hand and pull the grill with the other, working your way around the bumper and grill,

some of the clips on the grill section may get a hair line crack but it will still go in to another bumper and hold perfectly.

well that ok cos the grille comming off is not going back on so all good and sure the one i have to put on aint got any cracks in it either :)

you could alway create a guide on changing the front lower grill on the mk7 fiesta,

just take loads of pictures while doing it, then piece it all togeather on the computer at the end mate, would help other fiesta owners too.

Could do depends on time :)

Just gonna do what mike said and stop the bumper flexing by putting pressure on the bumper when i pull the grille hard should be fine :)

Sounds Good mate,

Just wanna be 100% sure im not gonna break anything on the bumper not too fussed about the grille comming off

When i took the original grill off i gave it a quick sharp tug rather than hanging off it. The first clip came out and the rest followed more easily.

If you wasnt in Scotland i'd come and help you 😁

So your advice is to start at top left corner and give it i sharp pull with my right hand when stoping bumper flexing with my left hand and the rest should free much quicker ?

Yes. Thats how i was advised to do it and it worked for me mate.

ok cool will do it this way and it should come off ok :)

as long as the bumper is ok .

cheers.

As soon as mine arrives ill get straight on it then, seems like a need! lol

Got my asian spec grill all fitted up and looking good. also got round to doing the guide for the removal and refit so any one who is interested just go in to the guides section the fiesta club of follow this link

i fitted my grille today looks nice but at the left and right of the grille its poping out quite easy is this normal or not ?

i know the left sides is doing it cos i broke it driving into a car lol but the driver side has me puzzled .

could i remove it again and maybe slightly bend the clips so it catches better ?

its not loose enough to fall off but it is loose to bother me lol.

any advice would be good .

the lower edges do stick out a little bit on mine but it should be hardly noticeable, might be the clips aren't in properly?

if you've got any pictures you could post i could have a look and might be able to offer more advice

Do you think it may be loose coz you drove into another car ?

On the passanger side one clip is broken due to me hitting a car hence having to change the grille :)

So theres nothing i can do with this but the driver side never doe it before so want it sorting
