04 1.8 Replacing the bumper grille. - KevHull87
I'm looking to replace a broken bumper grille on my Focus, but without removing the bumper completely, i'm struggling to find how It can be changed.

Any tips would be helpful,
thanks

I assume it's a Mk I facelift, because the Mk II didn't go on sale until 1st January 2005.
I've looked at my 2 litre and it appears that it's clipped at the top of the grille, and there's a bolt 310 mm either side of the centreline, about 80 mm (backwards) from the front of the grille and about 60 mm below the top of the grille. My guess (although it is just a guess) is that if you remove the two bolts the grille will then more or less lift upwards. I don't know what happens about the bonnet lock in the middle.
