Did you ever get this sorted?

On my 9N3 it was 4 torx screws when you opened the bonnet. The problem was I never got the new grill to click back down flush.

Did you get your 6R grill off? It sits ON TOP of the bumper which means I should have a clicking down problem (the grill sat over the bumper on the 9n3). I'm thinking of getting a sexy glossy blue motion grill but not sure as having the word "blue motion" built into the grill kind of ruins the gloss.

Does the bluemotion grille not block the air intake though? I wouldn't think that warm air would be good for the TDI's. :(

I have changed mine to a Bluemotion grille.
I think i just used a screwdriver to unclip the standard grille.
I removed the Bluemotion badge as it's only stick on.
Ive polished the grille to keep it very shiny.

Considering the bluemotion is a TDI of very similary design, i cant imagine itll be a major issue

It does have an air scoop channel too - its just thinner.

Ahh okay, I thought the bluemotion might have had the air intake in the the lower grille or something. :roll:
