any guides to removing the grill ? as i have ordered the gti grill and should be here any day so have get it on

If you lift your bonnet up, there should be 4 star shaped screws, get a T25, T20, or T15 (sorry forgot the size ) screw and take the 4 out. Then you will need something pretty long and sturdy, maybe a flat head. There wil be 4 clips near the bottom of the grill so you will need to get your flat head into the grill push against the clips and lift the clips up, after you have done this for the 4 clips just pull away. Be gentle though!

Got a few pics here for you:

Got one already just wondering where you found it as I spent years looking for mine

Goodluck with it! Let me know when you have it in!

were did you get yours from ?
i spent nearly a year looking for it :L there the hardest things to get

also see the vw center emblem in the grill atm i have to put that into the new grill does it just push out or wat?

I bought it of a guy, took me along time to find it as well!

Right if you take your old grille out, and look atthe back of it, there should be clips that are stopped by a piece of plastic on the grille. There is one clip that needs to be lifted up and twisted clockwise this should unlock it and then you should be able to push it out. Be careful again because if you break that clip, your simply... F*CKED

Hope it helps!

BTW, the clip that you want to lift up SHOULD (not quite sure as I took it out a bit go) be the one at the top if I remember.

great lol sounds like fun :L
thats ok thanks very much m8

The Forge FMIC guide is comprehensive for removing the front bumper.

Props to Forge for this guide:
