mesh grille HELP PLEASE
 
i want to put a mesh grille onto my 02 MP5 but i cant figure out how to get the bloddy thing off!! i took all the screws out that i could see but it still didnt come out.
if there is a link somewhere that tells you how to do it,i couldnt find it.
so please if anyone knows how or can give a url to it i would be very happy!!

i have done it before... you have to pry the top grill off the car, be careful, don't do it hard, but take your time... and if you're wondering about the bottom grill, you gotta go under the car and unscrew the board thing off to get into the bottom grill, and go from there... i hope i may help a little... no link that i known of, i did this all myself. really easy, but the hardest part is to cut the mesh grille into a perfect shape to fit there.... took me two weeks to do both...

hey max
 
did you have to take your whole bumper off to do it? or did you just take out the grilles?

looking good, but i dont like the logo thing, and i took it off myself and cut every piece out of the grille and put in mesh grills, i'll post some pics when i have them.

That's what I used, painted white to match the rims...

Also, I just removed the grills to do it, not the bumper.
