i,ve got quite a few mods in mind when funds are available. in the BUTTS catalogue there are a number of grilles ,the type i would like to fit is the mesh sort. i,ve had the bonnet up to see how to fit items but there dos'nt seem to be any easy access especially the lower grilles. any advise would be appreciated.......

many thanx ect

Lower grills? I assume you mean the one in front of the intercooler on the drivers side, the big 2 piece one in front of the radiator and the blanked off one on the passenger side.

They just pull out, push in, pull out respectively. The towing eye is located behind the one on the drivers side and the handbook tells you how to remove it, think its just by pulling. The centre one can be pushed in or pulled out. I know this as a hare decided to play chicken with a 60 mph RS, and lost! The passenger side one should be the same as the driver's side one ie pull out.

Hope that helps.

Keep asking questions. It gives our resident experts the chance to share their knowledge with us all, and adds to the usefulness of the site.

As Jon said the lower ones are just a snap on fit.

The upper grille can be removed by undoing all the bolts on the underside bonnet bracket.

you can actually remove the internal grill by drilling out the rivets , however this will mean if you wanted to put it back as original would be hard to do.

But is a cheaper way if you just want a MESH grille

thanx to all who posted , replys have given me a bit of confidence in fitting grilles myself, much appreciated
