Instructions

First you must remove the original radiator cover which consists of three parts, namely the plastic grill and the two aluminium end plates.

The plastic grill is held on by two lugs on the top edge of the radiator, and two more on the bottom. There should be plenty of flexibility in the grill allowing you to unclip it. Simply lift the top edge of the grill over the lugs, one at a time, and when both are undone the whole grill can be lowered to release it from the lower lugs.

Next you must remove the end plates. Each of these is held on by two bolts which go into the side of the radiator (these bolts do not hold the coolant in, so removing them does not require the cooling system to be drained). Loosen and remove each bolt using the Allen key. Hold each end plate in place while you remove the last bolt so that it doesn't fall.

You should now be ready to fit the new grill. Most of these grills do not include new bolts, so you will probably need to reuse the original bolts.

Hold the new grill in position and put the upper bolt back in on one side. Do not tighten it yet. A few turns is all that is required. This will hold that side of the grill in place while allowing the other side to move, making it simple to line up the holes on the other side.

Next put the upper bolt back in place on the other side, and again do no tighten it yet. This will hold the grill securely while still allowing the lower edge to move so that you can easily line up the holes.

Next put the bolts back into the lower holes and then tighten all four bolts with your fingers.

The grill should now be in its final position but you will probably be able to move it slightly. If it doesn't quite look straight you can still adjust it until you are happy.

Once you are happy with the final position, hold it steady and tighten all four bolts with your Allen key.
