Guidance Please - Fitting a Replacement Fog Light Grille

Post by DuncanF » Fri Sep 14, 2018 5:56 pm

Someone managed to rip my OSF fog light grille out in a supermarket car park. I found it lying by the car. Fortunately no other damage, however all the tabs had broken off so I picked up a replacement today.

Is there a knack to fitting it I should be aware of? Inside/outside/top/bottom first etc. Or line it up square and whack it with a "persuader"? :audibash: I don't want to break any tabs off by fitting it arse backwards and having to remove/replace.

My Google-foo is deserting me on this.

Ta!

There is a stick out tab I think on the end towards the centre of the car so that side goes in first then push the rest on. I'll have a look through old photos to try and work it out. But it is defo either left of right side first then push in.

Outside edge goes in first, then it clips in moving towards the middle of the at.
