to change the badge or just take off the front grills you have to take the front bumper,thats true guys. i read it on the fiat bravos elearn cd .

Yes, I wanted to change the dull sounding horn as well but I can't even see where the thing is..................

So who is going to add to the 'hate' thread .............

"Why does my Italian Stallion sound like a Shetland pony ?"

Guys, i have painted by grilles ( both top, lower and the fog lamp covers ).

I can tell you that i didnt remove my bumper, i took off all the covers in under 5 minutes!
This is what i did, i pulled off the lower grille then pulled off the upper grille. simple as that, just a little brute force and bobs your uncle they came out and once i finished painting them i simply pushed then back in.
I dont know where youre all coming from when you say you have to remove the whole bumper from the car because i certainly didnt. Ill try and post up some pictures.

i hope you are right because i have order 5 days ago abarth badges front and rear. and when i read the elearn bravo cd about the front grill i was like ----->:bang::bang::bang:

i did it in the summer, all i remember is pulling them straight out, they have some clips to hold them in place. theres a nut on the back of the badge, and clips for the chrome that goes around the grille. the hardest bit was getting the fog lamp covers off but with the lower grille out i pushed them out from behind. Try it, stick your fingers in the grilles and pull with both hands straight out towards you, you get to feel it when it better, if it doesnt budge then leave it just incase you break something then you blame me I know i didnt remove my bumper

Where,s the horn cause I can't find it on the elearn cd?

I see you've found the genuine Abarth badges but what about one for your steering wheel?

You could listen for where it is while her indoors presses the button. Might annoy the neighbours, so a quiet spot in the countryside might be the best place to get :devil:

bravo and grande punto abarth have the same steering wheels.

Mmm, Ive tried this, no movement, sounds like a break if I pull any harder...............

Just tried again, he's right, the grilles all just pull straight out!

Told ya! Not exactly a good thing, anyone can nick them. I didnt read any manuals, i was just really bored one sunday afternoon and decided to do something to my motor.

Hope this helps others

Now we've established they just pop out, are there any direct replacement ones on the market that look the nuts, like the honeycombe style ones? I'd like direct fit not faffing around...............

Can we get to the horn by pulling the grills off? :idea:

Where is it? I can't locate it????

2 years on and he's right you know. Just give them both a good tug and they're off. Simple as that. Time to get painting white.

Front grill removal is straight forward! - just pull! first the top and then the bottom part - fixing front badge is than easy....remove 8mm nut and replace it with new badge. Not sure why people first suggested that bumper removal is required just to change the front badge! - incorrect information.
