Hi, in relation to a Fiat 500 2014 Lounge, has any body had to take off or refit the lower front grill? My daughter had a a little run in with a small deer which has pushed the grill of completely and cracked one of the plastic panels. any advice on best way to refit etc?
 
Hello so remove the bumper completely then go about fixing it, allow 1-2 hours to remove

DON'T simply pull the bumper off where it meets the wings, go under the wing with a good light and tease apart the bumper to wing fixing 3 clips on the one fixing, use a screwdriver or plastic tool to prise apart, note the small screws could be a real issue to remove once rusted away, the Torx screws can be hard to remove, the wing fixings a real issue once rusted-I snapped one of ours out in the process

Thank you will have a look tomorrow...
 
Hi,
Did you manage to remove the bumper and replace the grill. Exactly the same thing has happened to me! Once the bumper has been removed, how do you remove the grill and for the new one? Was it fairly easy?

Thanks

Once the bumper is off, protect it on a soft surface, it's obvious how it's attached, note my point re not just pulling off
