Removed The Black Plastic Backing Plate

[Kazi]

Hi folks, not sure if others have tried this, im sure they have, but ive just removed the back plate on mine and im not sure wether its just me or ive got it into my head that the car seems to pick up better.

Could be to the fact that I made a four our journedy to Wales at the start of the week or it my improve performance even if only slighty.

Any comments aprreciated.

:D

Don't think you got any replies coz no one knows the ***** what you are on about!

i suppose it would make sense as you would get more airflow at a guess

[TheDon]

do you mean the black plastic plate on the back of the grille!

if so i did that and it did help the engine stay a bit cooler, plus i had an induction kit so that helped as it meant the air it was breathing was a little cooler

Did that 3 years ago.

treat yoursell to as sports grill,much nicer and good airflow.

hey folks, i just bought a sports grill, awaiting delivery on tuesday, just wondering how easy it is to fit, would i need to remove the bumper, or can i do it from the top?

Many thanks

Lee.

nah just open the bonnet, take out the push pin rivet things and then there are three tabe that connect it to the bumper above the number plate

if you look down behind the grille you should be able to see them

should literally take 2mins

Picked my 00 reg is200 up last monday, just ordered the sports grill and short shifter. I found those three tabs you were on about, but i pulled them, pushed them, tried sliding them, how do i get them unclipped?
