How to Replace the Front Grilles on a Ford Focus

Model: Ford Focus MK 3 - Years 2011-2018
Part: Grille

To replace the grilles located on the front of the Ford Focus, place the car on a ramp or secure it on a flat surface. Remove the two small covers located under the side peaks of the larger grille using a small plastic pry tool. Once done, pry at the left corner of the larger grille with the same tool and proceed around its perimeter to release it from its housing. After removing the grille, proceed to remove the chrome frame which is secured by clips. Now, remove the lower grille. The process is the same, plus releasing 8 clips located on the sides and the bottom of the grille. Once these operations are complete, you can proceed to install the new grille by reversing the previous steps.
