Front Fog Grill Removal - Help Please.
« on: 15 April 2012, 22:30 »
Hi All

Just checking how to remove the front fog grills. From a google search looks like you have to drop the whole front bumper!!!!

Can this be true???

Any help and advice really welcome

Just had a quick look on ebay and theres a hole in the top corner and what looks like some clips on the back, will prob be like the mk5 just a bit more delicate.

there are access holes inside the front wheel wells too so you can get access to the fog lights

Well had a good look this morning.  Think it is going to be a bumper drop.

No screws, very flush fitting.

There are about a million clips to undo, five or six on each "finger"!!!!

The bulb access in the front wheel well is just that.   

Really didn't want to drop the bumper, nothing ever goes back on the way it came off for me :(
