How to replace front grill.

[Cal91]

How do you replace the front bumper, lower, centre grill on a facelift Ibiza?

I have cracked mine and I was wondering how you replace them.

The lower grille is attached with ~16 clips.
Remove the bumper and undo the clips by pressing them down.
After the clips have been undone the grille can be pushed out.

Oh crap. You have to remove the bumper.

Thanks

I replaced mine yesterday, and managed to do it without removing the bumper. I had a hole in my grill from hitting a chicken, so was able to reach in and unclip the grill from the bumper, but depending on how big or small your fingers are you should be able to reach in through the holes and feel around to unclip them. Then all you need to do is clip on the new one, which is a really easy job.

So which way does it come out from? Does it push forward, towards you. Or does it push backwards towards the car?

Thanks. Thats exactly what I wanted to hear. To be honest... I am replacing it so I would just cut a hole in it.

It comes forward, towards you.
