How to Replace the Front Grille on a Volkswagen Polo?

Model: Volkswagen Polo Polo 5, Polo V, MK 5, MK V, 6R - Years 2009-2017
Part: Grille

To replace the front grille on a Volkswagen Polo, open the bonnet to access the screws that secure the grille from the top, at the front of the engine bay. Once all the screws in this position are loosened, leverage the top of the grille to unclip the corresponding clips; then leverage the bottom to unclip the clips located there. This will allow the grille to be extracted and replaced with a new one.
