    Exclamation HELP! How to remove VX grille!

    Hi guys,

    I've seen a few posts about removing the grille that is built in to the bumper but none that actually give a decent guide on how to do it.

    Can anybody rather send me a link in a comment on a how-to as i can't find one, or just tell me how to do it.

    P.S - No fancy machines please.



    The black grille ^

    Not sure if its the same as VX Series 2 Exec, but There was two screws on the top of each plastic grill. Unscrew them and the two grills should slide out. Obviously u need the bonnet up and open. Could be wrong if it's not the same as VX Series 2 Exec Grills.

    If it's part of the bumper itself (I know mine is), then just get a saw blade in there and cut the pieces out if you don't want them there anymore.
    Then sand it smooth.

    There are slots that look like you are meant to cut through, but if i do that then there will be 2 big rectangular holes there. should i just cut out the 'spokes' and sand it down so its all smooth and shit?

    you have to cut them (grills) out on the vx s/ss bumpers but the exec bumpers just unsrew.
    Take it easy...But do take it...

    Do not argue with an IDIOT.
    He will just drag you down to his level an beat you with experience

    Some people take me the wrong way, Like smacking up Marijunna.
