This guide shows how to replace the grille of a car, which is the front part of a vehicle that starts from the bonnet and descends to the front area, covering the radiator and ending with the bumper. Replacing it is not a difficult task, and the guide explains how to do it. Once you have purchased a new one from an authorised dealer, you can proceed.

Remove the fixing bolts from the top of the grille, then use a screwdriver to completely detach it. To remove it safely, after unscrewing the bolts, gently move it to understand how to slide it out. Generally, a 'U' movement will allow you to remove it. At this point, you can insert the new grille, repeating the same steps as for the removal.
