    Default Facelift "V" grille question

    Right, i've bought a painted V grille from Taffyopel for my facelift Vec and need to know how easy it is to remove and fit the part.
    Do i need to remove the front bumper or can it be done left on the car ?
    Are things going to break ?
    Ta - peeps


    Have consideration for the deaf, if you're gunna fart, make it smell !

    If it's a facelift the only way you will do it is to remove the bumper!!
