Thanks for that

Honeycomb grill arrived this morning from superskoda - quite a quick delivery. I ordered it last Wednesday (2nd Feb).

I am collecting a new grill surround tomorrow from my local main dealer so I will post up some pics once i've had the surround painted.

Yep. Confirming the BigCs answer. When opening the bonnet, the bonnet opener pops out. With the HC grille installed the opener will hit the grille when not cutted. Mine is the OEM one from Superskoda (same as installed on the Blue RS above) which comes along with good instructions how to shorten the opener + installing guide.

Does anyone know if the grill would fit a new scout?

Ok, picked up the colour-coded grille surround from the bodyshop, and clipped the superskoda honeycomb insert into it. I had a quick look under the bonnet and the whole grille/insert assembly seems to be held in by one large screw near the badge area, and 5 smaller screws at the bottom, which all seems fairly straight forward.

Now - this next bit is hard to describe but i'll try my best.

On the old grille/surround the 5 screws, when standing at the front of the car with the bonnet closed, would be pointing towards the ground.

On the new grille/surround the 5 screw holes are pointing, again when standing at the front of the car with the bonnet closed, in towards the engine.

Is this right?

If you mean the small torx screws at the front on the thinner section of the grill then when the bonnet is closed they are facing skyward screwed in????

Erm... aye, I think so. Does the black plastic 'insert' bit fix to the car then the chrome surround clips to it, or is it the other way round?

Regardless, the 5 torx screws that are at the bottom of the grille are facing downwards when the bonnet is closed (yes, facing skywards screwed in) but on the superskoda honeycomb 'insert' appears to have 5 holes that correspond to the 5 torx screws, but it's as if the holes are facing in the wrong direction - I would expect them to be facing downwards but instead they are facing inwards.

Ahhhh, I see what you mean now. Seems a bit odd that.
