Guys,

 

Yesterday I've picked up this beauty - Fabia 1.4 TDI 90 hp + DSG7.

 

Do you have any idea how to remove the front grill? I want to put black foil on it. I've unscrewed the top 4 nuts and after that I am stuck.

 

Is there an easy way or it is pain in the ***?

 

More info:

It has the local trim level "Edition" - Sports Seats + Heating, Tinted Windows, Bolero Radio, PDC, Auto Headlights + Wipers, Two colour concept + black wheels, KESSY, LEDs, etc.

 

Paid 13500 GBP at today's exchange rate

 i have done the bottom grill  only ,   that needed  a thin plastic trim tool long wedge   between it and the bumper  , push in and down gentley but firmly and pull grill  outwards gentley  all around 

( its tabbed every 3 inches or so all round ) 

 

its a massive pain to do it .

 

 i think the top grill is the same once you open the 4  screws ,  you need a thin trim tool , between it and the silver surround ,  or between the silver surround and the bumper

 and it has loads of clips so BE VERY CAREFEUL ! 

 

the silver sorouund is tabbed in  to the bumper and the black grill and the clips are crappy brittle  plastic   so be gentle as a lamb on it , ie be careful then back off even more

 

the silver bit would be the same as this black bit ,  and would have a billion tabs

It is a single piece grill with only lower part. The hardest part is to remove the grill from the bumper. I have unbolted the top four screws which are visible and after that I am stuck. But I will try following your guide!

Thanks again. I will post pics if it is sucessful!

Unfortunatelly no luck...If I can see some actual pictures it would be great.

Why not lay black foil over the whole grille, smooth down and then trim around the edge with a sharp knife?

This is last idea. But I am not quite sure if it would turn out good with all those sharp edges etc.
