Help required, removing bumper grille

Featured Replies

Silly question maybe but I'm new to cars and only passed my test in June. 

 

Long story short, I had an argument with a coach and ended up having to get my mk1 Fabia classic in to the garage for repot. 

 

They did a great job, see pictures. However they had issues finding all the correct front grills. 

 

I have found them myself but to fit the far left grille I need to remove the other one that's fitted. I don't want to do damage and require a little advice how to remove.

I don't have a Fabia, but generally speaking, that right hand side, ie offside grill needs to be removed to get access to the towing eye, now if that is true for this car, then I would not have expected to have to remove the main lower grill section to remove or refit that shorter section, maybe have another look at it?

There are two smaller grills. The outer one has the smaller inner one hook over it which also hooks into the big main central one. The whole lower grille is made up of five separate units all inter locking. 

 

The smallest outer ones go in first with the main central one in before the other two go in to lock it all in place. 

 

I've already almost broken the new replacement one trying to squeeze it in. 

 

I don't want to cause damage to the new bumber or grills.
