Honeycomb Grille

If you look at the 4th pic posted by Jace and once you have moved the grille up slightly you can pull it out from the slam panel enough to see into behind the right and left of the grill. The lugs in photo 6 are located approx 1/2 way up on each side of the grille and all I had to do was to use a long (flat) screw driver to prise the hooked section of the grille out of the vertically slotted holder. I inserted the screw driver to either side of the hand in photo 4 an diagonally down to the fixing. I may have been lucky with my first time attempt but if came out easy. The instructions with the grille are useless and my Dealer could not help either as their manual had the same instructions. The only bit of the instructions which is of help is the bit where you have to push in and up with you fingers to move the grille section up a bit. Remember to pull the top of the grille section out from under the top of the slam panel. See Photos. Finger pressure was not enough in my case and I had to press my palm fairly hard to push in and up.

Hope this helps

We're still waiting on a part number for the Linea R grille as an alternative:

Can you buy the black Seat badge or is it just painted?

This would match the honeycombe of the lower grilles on the FR & Cupra.

The current honeycombe grille is a near perfect match for the rest of the range.

Rather than using a screwdriver to prise the tabs out - me and a mate each got a hand through the slats in the grill and pulled the tabs at the side away each doing one side at the same time.

Don't know how easy it would be to do on your own as both your hands would be turned in opposite directions if you see what I mean.

anyone got a picture of what it looks like on a yellow cupra and a part number would be nice pls

 

[Jace]

seremotors on ebay is the best & cheapest place to get them, Dave is the man

 

[CupraSport]

Ordered it, and it has arrived very quickly thanks Dave. got the old One off will fit the new one later, was thinking of honeycombe but wanting to keep it as close to factory as I can

Very nice designs although as I drive a black car, I think its too much black for me I think lol, I like the chrome maybe because i got the standard bumper

 

[Toxic]

yeah I prefer the chromed on a black car. I just fitted the Chrome Front Grill Border on the bumper as well, make it look pretty neat. I grab some pics tomorrow if the weather holds up.

Heres mine although no black grill, but i think it looks just as good to me aleast

I took the picture earlier today when it was dry but that did not last

My mates changed his chrome grille to a black one here:

in red it looks pretty nice. but in black the chrome breaks it up.

heres the Chromed fromt grille border. the picture though doesn't really do it justice.

 

[cheungy]

I was planning to buy the 3 sets sides and middle but now i may have to rethink about...I don't know about that pic tho as you said no justice from that rather harsh i would say lol but nice to see is gleaming
