I want a picture of the front grill and radiator please

[Suj999]

Hi all..

Been a lurker for a while.

I had some work done in the body shop due to a damaged front bummer, but I think they have not put something back.

Can anyone post a picture of the front grill looking down with the bonnet open please? Also a picture of the under side of the bonnet please.

I think there use to be a cover above grill, but I'm not sure..

It would help to say what year/model

Is it pre-facelift/facelift

s / se / FR / Cupra

Maybe worth put a picture up of your car too

However here is an old brochure:

Looking at the pic, there should be a top plastic cover I think.

The plastic cover that goes atop of the grill breaks relativly easy if your not careful with it. Like most bodyshop they've probably snapped it and not replaced it, in hope your never notice.

As said it's missing the top plastic cover. This is the bit missing:

 

[Suj999]

Ha ha I knew I would get the answers here. Is there anything on the bonnet side missing?

 

[Lozzy15]

Here's a shot of my bonnet. It's an FR but can't see it being different because of spec:

After comparing the two images I'd say you're missing 2 rubber bump stops and a rubber square pad, but mine is a Facelift model so maybe they changed bits around.

 

[Suj999]

Thanks, really useful.
They have changed some bits, but I think it's just the rubber button on top that's missing

I'd think that you should replace the adjustable stops as well as the single square buffer.

 

[Suj999]

That was a quick one

Been to the dealership.
The tray above radiator is £18, ordered. And 4 clips to go on it
The rubber square is like 50p ordered.
Didn't order the adjustable stop.. Only read the message after I left.

Hopefully won't need it.

 

[RUM4MO]

The 2 adjustable (if they do screw IN/OUT) stops are for getting the closed position of the bonnet spot on otherwise it will be just getting held down in the roughly correct position by the bonnet lock.

 

[Suj999]

Are they meant to be occupied though? Do you have one you could take a picture of please?

As they are so close to the square bits and twice the hight. What would be the point of the square bits if the screw on bits are meant to go at the front too?
