Took all of the honeycomb off for the first time. Had a good cleaning session and applied liberal amounts of back to black! The lower grille was a pain in the arse to get off!!

how did you get the lower grille off?

The GTI isn't just a machine. It's very much a living, breathing thing.

Yep, do as above, then slot the new one in. I think it was 18 euro from the dealer.

Meant refitting when I said replacing ie putting it back into the same place after removing it. Will have a look at it tomorrow.

It's hard explain, you'll see it when the main grill is off.  :happy2:
