Early & Late Front grille Clips

Recommended Posts

are these different and what year did they change? my 91 G60 has the 7 slat front grille and i went and bought a 3 slat badgeless FK one at GTI Fest and it didnt fit as it had 3 seating legs on the bottom and my slam pannel only has holes to take 2.....

 

where can i get a grille or grille and eyebrow from that will fit my C?

 

cheers,

Think the JOM ones on Ebay (Reiger replicas) are early fit, but can be modded slightly for later cars.

 

Can't you just cut one of the fixing clips off? Do the others line up with the holes in your slam panel?

I have a late grill on one of my G60's and the clips needed all cutting off and refitting.

 

From what I remember the slots are like this :-

 

Late style | | |

 

Early style | |

Not if you're nifty with a sharp blade and some strong glue ;)

 

I did the botton lugs and then used cable ties to keep it in place... never had any problems even on the German Autobahn ;)
