all the fog lights and stuff bolt to the lower grill and you have to take them off to get the grille out.it's easier if the car is in the air.you have to unbolt the horn then unclip the the 3 clips that go on the crossmember then push the grille out thats the easy bit. getting the new grille to clip back onto the bumper is a nightmare plus there aint much room to do it..looks good though when done..just takes patience which i aint got much of.

yeah it was! lol! i found it easier to take the bumper off so i had more room and could see what i was doing.
i had to trim the new grill down loads as the top lip of the spoiler sits into the old grill! got there in the end

a mate of mine had the spoiler fitted to his new SRi which had this grill as standard. vauxhall were going to just put a sxi grill in but they managed to trim away a small part of the bottom of the grill so that the spoiler could over lap it. its hard to explain really. but it can be done.
