Grille: Service and Repair

Removing Front Body Parts and Grill





- Remove the plastic grille and lower grille simply by unclipping them.

- The apron, the spoiler, and the radiator support are held in place by mounting screws.

- To remove the radiator support, disconnect the hood release cable from the hood latch, and disconnect the horn and headlight electrical connections.

GTI Models





- On GTI models, the front spoiler has an integral air duct connected to the brake cooling duct by a rubber bellows.

- To remove the front spoiler, first pry the rubber bellows back from the air duct and then remove the spoiler screws and speed nuts.

Installation

- Loosely install the spoiler and screws and speed nuts, fit the bellows on the air duct, and then tighten the screws and nuts.
