Removal of Front Grille (Masking)

Model: Honda Civic MK 6 - Years 1995-2001
Part: Grille

Open the front bonnet and ensure it is securely supported. Using a small flat screwdriver, detach the pressure clips of the plastic cover located directly above the grille. Unscrew the fastening screws and pressure clips of the front bumper, which are located underneath (if possible, it is advisable to lift the vehicle on a hoist to facilitate the operation); additional screws are located along the edge of the wheel arch. At this point, you can detach the bumper laterally and remove it. The grille is fixed to the bumper with plastic clips and two screws: simply tap the clips back and unscrew the screws to separate it from the bumper. For reassembly, proceed in reverse, first fixing the grille to the bumper and then securing the bumper to the bodywork.
