Title: Fitting new grill
Post by: Spencer on 06 December 2007, 18:08

Just recieved a badgless grill but cannot work out how to attatch it in place, where my old one had clips, this one is just smooth with none, therefore doesn't have anything to secure it with.
Any clues?

it will probably wedge in bottom first and should be ok,  :smiley:

So it doesn't even attatch?

I'll probably drill a couple of holes through and put some bolts though it.

on my badgeless grill there was a cable tie at the top at either end. It needs to be held in with some think you dont want it falling off

I've drilled a couple of bolts through the slam panel which hold the top in, only problem now is fitting the piece which goes at the bottom of the grill, as at the moment there's a 3/4" gap before the bumper.

Any idea on how to do this? As the grill has no clips etc to fit it with.

Personally if it hasn't got the usual clips then it won't never sit right. I had a JOM grill before which fitted perfectly until some east-london twit tried to stealt it and broke the slats!!! So i purchased one from GTI International for a measly £9 (also with clips) but it dont sit great. A quality grill = quality fitment but if you're not fussy then screws or cable ties mate!!!!
