(S) My Linea Grille is fitted! Pics...

Hi all,

Just finished fitting my Linea Race Kit front grille to my GP, and very pleased with the result! Added the new badges at the same time too.

Took about 2 hours and was quite frustrating at times (instructions could be better), and like RichC said when he fitted his, getting the old grille off was a right pain (fingers now very sore). I also needed to file down to badge support bit of plastic to make to bolt fit.

Other than that it went fine for my first ever mod! Cheers Rich for the tipex tip for marking the drill-holes, worked a treat.

Anyway, pic is attached...

looks good my comes tomorrow was it easy to fit...

Looks nice! So those red badges only come on the sporting?

Thanks Jarvo. It wasn't the easiest fit, the problem is that the instructions are quite vague. For example when you put the bottom replacement grille in, it is difficult to know exactly how it should hold on, and all that is shown in the instructions is a couple of arrow indicating "put the grille here"! That said, this was my first mod and I managed it with no real problems, its pretty obviously where everything goes.

The only headache is getting the old grille off. I found that bending the pins that hold the top grille on (put fingers through top grille, over the the far right and push pins once you find them) allowed me to pull it out on one side with a very hard tug. Then just pulled the other side off.

The bottom grille was more difficult, and a second pair of hands was needed to unclip the clips that hold the top edge of the grille to the bumper, pulling each one out one-by-one. Then pulled top edge down and repeated this with bottom edge.

Rich gave a short rundown of how he fitted it in this thread..

..and I followed that (didnt drill new holes in bumper, used tipex to mark area to drill etc).

Hope that helps!

i have mine being fitted on friday.

at the dealer

looks nice, still not sure if id have one myself but it looks good

Which badge do you mean, if you mean the Fiat badge, no that comes on all new fiats from around 57 plate cars, if you mean the other thats just an MS design badge that i imagine comes with the grille

Looks pretty sweet. is it the whole bumper or is just the black centre?

its just the centre bit, top and bottom grilles

Cool how much can u pick one up for?

i have to say, i prefer the original look.

If you do a search on the GP section you'll find loads of threads and info that have been posted about these grilles

Or you could have just told him the price.

lol i think its around about £170

Looks good mate, glad the tips helped.
