Zunsport grill fit to 2006 facelift question

[nictry]

I have looked at some previous posts on this and am confused between the instructions that arrived with the grill and what seems to have been posted previously about how to fit so hoping someone can advise.

 

The grill instructions suggest this is a straight replacement, screw in and job done, the grill on my facelift has the two slats as we know and therefore in my mind the new grill cannot possibly just screw on without somehow removing the slats?

 

I am a DIY numpty so as the front bumper is due to be sprayed in a couple of weeks I was just going to hand over the new grill (and hopefully my new clear reflectors if they arrive in time from the US) and get them to swap them over but knowing my local body shop if there is anything more than undoing a screw or two they will say they don't want to do it so I wanted to check before taking it in to them.

 

I appreciate any advice given.

The grille goes over the top of the slats

 

Also, changing the reflectors is a matter of 4 screws once the bumper is off.

Perfect, cheers guys so no need to remove the bumper to fit the grill (I might attempt it myself if this is true)

You need to remove the slat covers which can be done by putting your hand down the aperture on the top panel where the bonnet catch is and unscrewing the covers from the rear.

All done, first proper modification completed with only a small hole in one finger to show for it looks good too and glad I went for the black and not stainless as def looks good against the gunmetal paint.

 

Next mod hopefully Monday when I need to try and remove the gear knob and replace with the spanking new tan original received this morning for the US of A

Same as mine - black and GM - great combo!

 

You know that to get old gear knob off you will need a big pair of grips to hold the bottom of the shaft before trying to unscrew the OEM unit - and they can be TIGHT!

Yes I did see that, not looking forward to it but hoping that it might be nice to me and come off without needing Geoff capes to help out;)

Well job done, next door neighbour was chatting about the car when he offered to help me do the change of the knob! 5 minutes later and all complete, wasn't too tough to shift initially but ironically was tough all the way through the untwisting but once off new one went on like a dream and managed to twist a whole 360 beyond where it initially wouldn't budge so shouldn't be coming loose anytime soon.

 

Well chuffed, two mods in a day and now a new stereo to look forward to next week.
