    Fitting the RS3 Grill (Guide)

    The badge is easily removed from original grill but will not fit the rs3 grill unless u found some way of glueing it on.. I used the base of the rs3 badge but stuck my s3 on it, only problem is it's a bit big I will post a pic up to show u [emoji5]

    The bumper unclips from the floor pan, I was all prepared to remove it until my jack stopped working then realised there was no need to remove it so saved myself a lot of hassle and time. I just turned the steering to get in about the screws in the inner arch with a small ratchet.

    The 1 I got on my 8p everything was removable so presumed this would be the same spoke to the guy on the phone and he suggested drilling them out but not sure I want to go down that road! Yeah I guess it wouldn't be that noticeable

    just took delivery of my rs3 grill to find the brackets for the number plate holder and parking sensors are non removable! I had no plans to use the plate holder and don't have parking sensors so this will look abit silly! Is everyone else's like this?
