Fg Xr50 Front Grill Removal

[Timmy-XR6T]

Hi guys - I'm trying to install my new cold air induction and I need to get the front grill off (upper grill with the ford badge).

I've taken the 3 or 4 screws/scrivets of the top panel and I can pull it forward but it seems the bottom is glued or has double-sided tape and its some tough stuff.

I tried to gently pull it away but I think the grill is going to snap before whatever is securing it gives way.

Has anybody had a simliar experience and I would be appreciative of any suggestions on how I can get it off.

No experience with the FG but the BA BF's only have three 'tabs' on the bottom of the grill that 'slot' into the front bar which just pull up and out.

And whilst your at it, it seems a stanley knife can do wonders to the lower grill?

thanks for the tip, ill give it another crack (not literally) and see if the FG is similar.

I had a look at mine when I had the bumper off, I can say it's different for mine.

That said the bumper only takes a few minutes to get off.
