Grill removal
« on: 25 July 2013, 10:32 »
Hi guys

I need to remove the front grille on my GTI to change the drivers headlamp. I can see the clips under the bonnet, but can anyone tell me where the other clips are and how to release them?
Cheers.

There are two, one under each headlight which are delicate! You need to get right down so eyeline is level and using a thin flat blade screwdriver push in to release.
Then two more in the middle
