Removing front grill

[Bassik]

Does anyone know how to remove the front grill for a GTI? I was assuming it would be slightly the same as a Golf but not sure and didn't wanna run the risk of any damage.

Thanks

you mean the grill between the headlights? First put some tape on the bumper so you dont damage it. Second, undo 2 screws on the top and apply some force and pull it out straight towards you standing in front of it. It is held on the car VERY good with a couple of clips so some healthy muscle is needed.

Good luck

Thanks...I did read somewhere that's how it was done but for the life of me couldn't get it to budge although I wasn't trying that hard. Ok will try this and see.

I wanna do this so I can change the GTI badge. I'm assuming this is needed to be done first?
