Can any one help me? Im wanting to remove my lower, black plastic standard grill and fit the S.P mesh grill. Has any one fitted there own, or should it be a job left to Peugeot, as im not sure if u can do it without having to remove the whole bumper?

Don't do it!!!

Taking the bumper off is epic, more clips than u can imagine, then unless u have the tool that Peugeot have u need to take the headlights off too! Trying to put the whole lot back together is also entertaining! The instructions LIE, 3 bolts :rolleyes: :rolleyes: cheers!! It took 3 people an 1hour in the end, 2 of which work in car accident repair!!! And I'm still not convinced my car is put together right since!

I'd pay the £70 or hours work at Peugeot, my car was jacked up for 2 days because I got bored trying!

Its not too bad, I had a couple of friends round and it took us about an hour to do.

Its a bit complex to start, the most important thing to remember is which screw came from where! just start at the top, and work down removing everything at the front till you get to the grill. When you are there removing the old grill and fitting the new one is only a matter of a few clips which are easy to put on. I would rather do that than spend a pile of notes at the dealership - also a nice thing to do if its sunny!
