Removal of the Radiator Grille

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Grille

This brief tutorial shows how to remove the radiator grille from a Ford Focus. After opening the bonnet, remove the four screws that secure the plastic cover of the air intake. Remove this cover. Locate and unscrew the ten-millimetre bolts that secure the grille; for this operation, use a ratchet spanner with a ten-millimetre socket. At this point, with the aid of a screwdriver, simply unclip the clips that hold the grille in place. As a final step, just lift the grille out and you're done!
