Bust grille

Post by Madelvic » Wed May 09, 2018 11:23 am

A large stone smashed the nsf grill at the weekend (the one nearest to the main grille)

Ordered the part from Audi cost £84.65 this morning

Any experience of fitting? Easy to do? Without removing the bumper? Any advice would be appreciated

Thanks

Should be held on with some little lugs that sit behind the grill,
time and patience and it should just come pop out.

Quick update, damaged grill came out easily and new one popped in place

I'd bought one of these:

Used the slimmest ends to ease off / release the catches and it came out very easily

Thanks for the help :redrs4:
