Emz Posted July 11, 2010 Report Share Posted July 11, 2010 Nah I don't have one but I kept the sensor in the roof lining anyways so it wasn't left with a hole lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lou Posted July 12, 2010 Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 the chrome grille trim things do come off, even the outer ones are glued onto like the rim of the grille, not attatched to the bumper at all.maybe heat it up a bit?I piggled and gently pulled at them until they came off. left a mess of the actual grille though.

chris c Posted July 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2010 yeah mate thats what im left with a gluey mess looks like super glue to my plan was to mash the bumper and carefully sand the vents down smooth and satin black em how did you get round yours? cheers and what i meant by it being attatched to the bumper is the actual black slatted grille Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emz Posted July 13, 2010 Report Share Posted July 13, 2010 Yeah the grill is attached to the bumper, stupid thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
