fog grill removal
« on: May 12, 2012, 10:28:53 am »
happy Saturday people

I had a search on here but couldn't find anything. I was wandering how you go about removing the lower grills where the fogs are located. I want to put some lamin x on my fog lamps and haven't had the car long when I do DIY it tends to go wrong  :P

Nope, there is a honeycomb section that's deeper than the others. That's where the screw is  :smiley:

Once you remove the screw, stick your finger in the hole and pull the grille out

Look into the grill/slats and you should see it. Hopefully yours won't be as bad as my GT grills. Broke a clip on both of mine they were that tight.

Assuming you've got a GTI with the honeycomb grills...
