i used a small screwdriver on my zt and damaged the grill. this time i got some masking tape around the badge and used a butter knife to prise the old one off. gave it a clean (you will have to pick off the old sticky back from the old badge as some sticks to the car) then popped the new one on. pulled off the masking tape and admired my new badge and un-damaged grill. 5 min job

thats what butchers do jay...... god and your fitting a mk2 front to yours....lol

Lol well when I say ram I ment in the gentle sense. lol At least there were no marks on the grill. Could always get a heat gun on it to help.

didnt need the gun. wasnt hard to pull it off. as with everything, just take your time and the job usually a goodun

Jay-ZS+ 21-04-09 08:50 PM

yer only difference is the mk2 grill has less bolts!

afcbadam 21-04-09 08:52 PM

does it still fit tightly? i was thinking earlier that if anybody wanted to modified grill why not smooth off the badge. that would look very cool

Jay-ZS+ 21-04-09 08:58 PM

Yer its fine. You mean like the motobuild grill? Or like K&S on the modded bumper?
