06 Euro Front Grill

[EUR003act]

i got my grille of boomplustoys.com

cost me USD$172 painted (that includes the grille, surround, and "H" badge)
plus i purchased the bulkhead cover (radiator cover) for USD$42 and the euroR front emblem for USD$29....

Looks like another attempt at a dealership trying to rip? Here is a dealership (will remain nameless) quote...

Grille base (#1) $229.27
Grille guide (#4 & 5) $20.36 each
Grille mould (#2) – Painted $267.65 if its white, 135.77 for other colours

At least he said existing clips can be reused.

Rip that's for sure! Expensive!!! More for white that's interesting!!!

i pick up my one from local dealer for 390 all up for nighthawk black, Just wondering is it possible to install the sports grill without taking the fr bumper off?

Mine should be coming in the next couple of days. I'm going to try without taking the bumper off.

Umm, i tried and i really doubt you can fit your hand in there to take off the clips to get the grill out.

Well you can fit your hand in, but the angle is wierd and its hard to see what your poking at. I tried and thought it'd be faster to take off the front bumper. It's not that hard and prob faster than trying to fiddle in there lol.

Goodluck with the install all =) I'm sure you'll love the look of it!

I did my MY06 grille swap to Euro R in less than an hour (removed OEM and installed Euro R) reusing the original clips and didn't have to remove the bumper. It worked fine.

how did u remove the bottom clips??

[r-r-redEuro]

same way as you remove your top clips find the side where you need to stick your screwdriver in, then stick your hand downwards inside of the bumper with a screw driver to pop it out.

Lol too good for me then =) How did you manage to stick the screw driver in and angle it right to get those clips for the grill out. I'm guessing you took the radiator cover off and stuck your hand down there?

I tried and gave up =p Well i learnt how to take my bumper off now but =)

I used a small standard screwdriver but you could use anything short with a flat blade and I just used it to push on the tip of the "plunger" part of the the clips from the bottom and that just pushed them up thru the outer "core" part and released them.

bugger me. Struggling with the bottom ones and broke one of the radiator cover clips (the first one I tried as well).

Might try Mike Star's technique tommorow, really cant be bothered taking off the bumper
