Facelift grill

I have a donor bumper for changing my grill & was planning on using a dremel to remove it & some how fix to my own bumper. Anyone attempted this route?

I've done it,I used a dremmel carefully making sure you leave enough plastic so as you can melt it back together on the new bumper.

I melted it with a old soldering iron, definitely can't do it with the bumper on.

Had a look on YouTube & front bumper seems easy enough to remove.

Thumbs Up

You can also use a hot glue gun to put it back together.
Under £10 from eBay.
Used one on mine after changing the grill over. FL2 now gone and have a couple of items left for sale:-

Brodit active iPhone holder + Brodit dash clip,
Bluetooth Music Streaming Module.

Just removed front end to paint the grey grill bars black - here's a picture or two of what the rear of the facelift grille and those fiendish Censored fixings look like (HiRes so you can zoom in)
