Is there a post that talks about how to remove the grill from the 5th gen Max? I was trying to do it today to ease my tranny cooler install, but no luck. I removed the 4 clips on top and the rectangle one just left (when facing) of the middle, but it feels like it is one piece with the front bumper assembly. I know that can't be true, buy I couldn't find a way to get the grill off. If you can point me to a post or if anyone else knows how, please let me know.

Thanks a lot,

Matt

 

Sorry, but you can't remove the grill from the bumper... I was one of the first people on the forum to find this out.

 

Thanks for the info, Kev.

 

Your welcome. Good thing you didn't go any further with the removal...

 

 

hahaha u shulda just went to the dealer and asked.. haha. j/p. it really does look like it comes off tho, just chop it off and change it, that thing's gotta go, i'll tell ya'll wehni do mine, if i ever do.. i want the a4 grill thingy the black honeycomb. gotta go to hardware store.

 

Chop it off, huh? That sounds interesting? And to think that I dreaded the vb!!!!!

 

it's safer to attempt the grill removal proccess by removing the whole bumper first, ahem like some have done already. cut from the inside first i personally like the rim, so i'm thinking of just carefully painting that rim black and some how fitting the honeycomb grill material in there so it looks like it's a part of it. a good thing to use to hold the grill in place might be either, fiberglass resin, abs glue, bondo?, not screws unless you can hide the, and paint them black.
