ausgolfer 0 Posted January 6, 2014 Hi Guys ad Gals, Quick question, How is the front grill held in? I think mine have have had a dodgy mechanic work on it, the centre clip you can see when lifting the bonnet has two pop rivets(looks like pop rivets) holding it in. Any advice would be great? wanting to dismantle the front to fit my oil cooler, and a FMIC in future. Cheers. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted January 6, 2014 There's 3 clips along the top of the grill which clip into the top of the slam panel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ausgolfer 0 Posted January 6, 2014 so maybe my center clip was broken at some point, hence why it is riveted in by this clip. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diarmaid16 1 Posted January 6, 2014 The clips do break easily. There are two rivets beside the hole for the bonnet catch on the slam panel which have nothing to do with the grill. I don't see how the grill can be riveted in place though. Any pics? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ausgolfer 0 Posted January 6, 2014 ah no need. I just had a closer look and the center clip has already been broken off and the rivets I spoke about don't really seem to be holding anything in except a plastic clip that doesn't seem to do anything. :D thanks for the advice anyway.
