I was wondering if anyone on this forum has installed a lower grille on their polo, like this one:

and if so, i was wondering how easy it is to do it yourself and if you will need to remove the entire front bumper.

Re: Lower Grille Replacement
It can be done without removing the bumper. The clips are very strong and often break when removing the grille. You can loop wire into either side of the grill and pull firmly but be prepared for it to be unusable afterwards

Re: Lower Grille Replacement
Haha i bought the same one (well my girlfriend bought me it) just unclip the fog light covers then pull the middle grill off hard and clip your new one in.

Re: Lower Grille Replacement
Yes, you use the metal loop in the spare wheel kit to do it
