I have documented my removal of chrome surround and installation of the black pack grill surround.

I don't know how to upload a pdf to the site, would any moderators be able to help?

You'd need to link to a Dropbox type file storage area.

Oh my god......that was long winded and complicated but here is the link to what I produced. I hope it works.

Looks good to me. Do you want it moving to Guides now?

It works. Good report.

If you want john999boy.

Assumed it was related to Octavia Mk3 and it keeps getting asked in this section.

Can it go in both?

Cheers Paulius555, it's simple to do and hopefully this will reduce the questions being asked as a definitive guide on "how to do.......".

As it's really a guide then it should really be in the Guides section.

However, I'll leave a link in the O3 section too.

Excellent, you da man!

I've just updated the pdf. I forgot to add a red circle which I mention!

Not found when I clicked any of the links. 

It does indeed look like @AirborneVRS has now either renamed or removed it.

Any new links regarding this guys?? As I have a devil red one coming from Superskoda for my new 245

Was also looking for this info as mines appears to be pretty secue

I have not done anything to the post, so not sure what has happened. The grille is fairly secure. I broke the silver one off but as knew it was never going back on, I wasnt concerned. 😉

 

It's held on by a selection of plastic clips. They break with some force. I used plastic bike tyre levers to save scratching the car.

 

New grille simply pops on in place. Pretty simple really. 

 

I dont have the file anymore because I've changed phones but someone may have an old copy the can share.

 

Sorry to say, I am no longer a VRS owner and have moved on to another car. All the best.
