Post by: country boy on December 04, 2010, 05:20:57 pm

I'm gonna do Top Cats magnet/numberplate mod just wondered how easy it is to remove the grill and surround?

Very easy.
Just take off the top screws that you can see when you lift the bonnet, and then remove the screws at the bottom just under the plynth, then pull.

Lift up the bonnet, you will see  3 screws, remove those.
Then get on your knees and look under where the grille ends, and if you look upwards you will see the remaining screws.
Lower grille does not need to be touched.
