Honeycomb Grill Fitted (+ fitting guide pics)

[jrsmooth]

I have also just replaced the grill on my FR. I also was having trouble with the last two clips on the side. I think the temperature (-5) contributed to the trouble, in that the plastic was brittle and my patience thin. Eventually i gave up, drop kicked the screwdrivers into the pond and pulled the grill out. Needless to say, i broke the clips/slots on the bumper but the new grill fits securely.

I would advise to perform the transplant when its warmer!

Cheers mate, bought it like most people on here from Seremotors, send him a pm and he will do the rest. Was about £70.

Your best just asking Seremotors. No dealers over here seem to be able to get a hold of them, and Dave always has the lowest prices.

Its called a Linea R Grille.

Got home & part 2 of the new look grill had arrived
So I thought I'd do a little write up on how to remove the grill & fit it.

hello there jace,

where did you get that "behind the original grill" honeycomb add-on, the best i could find was the whole honeycomb bit, not just the underlayer...

thanks for sharing

 

[Crackyrich]

Are there no after market options for the Leon grill yet? Broke mine on a bird and need to replace and fancy somethin different.

 

[dutchdog]

Is there such a grill for the Cupra Ibiza mk4 as these pics suggest??

Anyone in a position to find out? I would love a centre honeycomb for my MK4 cupra
without the lines of the original.

 

[AndrewJB]

Nope we have looked at this before

Dave at SERE Motors has ordered every single MK4 Centre grill possible and they honeycombe on isnt available

Hello,

Well thought this job sounded easier than changing the grille on my Civic.. how wrong I was!

Took the little clips out at the top, lifted grill up a bit and inserted a screw driver, locating the clip with my fingers through the grille.. hmm then... nothing! It may be a ridiculas question but am I supposed to press the clip in? It wasnt budging.. maybe the wd40 will help this??

Any assistance would be much appreciated.. I will not be beaten! I dont think long nails are helping matters haha

Cheers in advance guys and girls

Hi there! I can't tell you exactly where to look for that, as it's been more than 2 years since I changed my grille, but I've taken photos of the whole process which should probably help you out.

Go HERE and check it out.

Edit: here's a couple pics that probably show what you need.

 

[Wire_Gal]

Thanks for the pics! Its the first one that concerns me I dont want to scratch the paint! Will give it a go later if it warms up a bit

 

[Wire_Gal]

Finally got round to changing the grille. I couldnt get to the little clips so figured a bit of brute force did the trick and it did

Think I need some form of mesh behind it now to tidy it up a bit but much prefer this grille to the OEM!
