Front grille removal v70 07

camturbo · Nov 10th, 2017, 19:22

Hi all I need to remove my front grille for a refurbishment but I understand that the bumper needs to come off? However I also am aware that it can be removed without removing bumper. Has anyone done it? I've located the tabs but can't figure out how the grille is attached? I don't want to push down on clips to much in case I break them. Can someone point me in the right direction please. Cheers

Hi mine is a 2002 and you have to unclip it from the rear,
it is very easy to remove the plastic bumper of my car,

I did mine! Proof is the grill for sale in the sale forum (shameless plug)

Find the tabs at the bottom and press down with a screwdriver, three in total I think,, this should release the bottom. Then feed your hand up and slowly release the top three using your hand. You will have to pull the grill as you go to stop it from reclipping
