Steel Grill Mesh MCS

[jayex]

Hi just received my shiney new grill mesh for my cooper s - , was wondering if anyone here has fitted these before & if it was a simple job as there are no instructions, would not like to go pulling the old ones off then get stuck, was advised when sold them that the bumpers dont have to come off in order to fit:question: looks tight tho :dead:
thanks :)

I've never fitted them Julie, so can't help you there.. Sorry. I can't imagine it would be too complicated as you don't have spot lamps.:) Pop your bumper up and I bet you'll find retaining clips behind. I may well be teaching my granny to suck eggs here:I. I'm sure you've thouht of that already.:I

Thanks for the reply, had a wee look yesterday - back ones look pretty easy, but looks like i will have to remove the bottom skirt from the bumper at the front - trouble is it won't stay dry long enough for me to have a proper look 8)................ patience.......... :sleepy: will just have to wait for a half decent day :cool: thanks again :)

If you've got AC then i'd imagine it'll be a knuckle skinning exercise from the top! :eek:
