how do i go about going this? i saw christurbo melted through his v to get to the screws, how did you get the screws out from the other side though? do they just drop to the floor somewhere? anyone go the part number for a new grill too?

Push them so that the fall onto the bottom of the clam. Jack up car Loosen the undertray bolts knock/bang the bottom of the clam until the bolts fall out of the undertray gap [where you loosened the undertray bolts]

bang the car while its jacked up......... i'd be too scared of it falling off the jack!

christurbo, how did you spray yours in the first place? did you just mask it off? tempted to do that first to see how it looks (then remove it if i dont like it). is it tricky to mask?

[christurbo]

Easy to prep and spray. Just make sure you mask off all the front of the car using either newspaper or plastic sheeting. Do a search on me/or on painting V as I posted how to prep it and paint it within the last week Regarding the banging of the car when on the jack:- I dont mean BANG - I mean tap it so that the bounce out of the gap!

I took mine off last weekend. Just dremmeled (Sp?) the plastic away from the screws. To get the screws out I just dremmelled the area around the towing eye to make a slightly bigger gap and then stuck an extendable magnetic thing-a-me-bob through to grap the screws as they released. Just had to watch the washers as they are not as magnetic as the screws. Nat

Has anyone got any pics of a dee-vee'd Europa Blue car? Not sure how it'd look...

[suikoden]

im wondering this myself as i want to take my V off to strip it back and start again... But if it looks good without it on, i may leave it off... any pics?? cheers tom

[razorsharp192]

i've been thinking this too, looks better without, but then with the v blacked out it "should" have the same look to it:

as it now


and photoshopped without the grill

Spend a couple of quid and get a cf one from Thorney I think they look weird with nothing in the grill

i think it looks better with a black one than the carbon fibre ones.....

How do i go about going this? I saw christurbo melted through his V to get to the screws.

I assume you are going for a destructive removal, otherwise you need to take the front clam off (not as hard as it sounds, but budget 6 hours for your first run).

[christurbo]

Ive done both - both well easy~!

[VXJON]

Going to take it all off Hopefully, you fancy helping lazy? Then we can spray yours and go for a kind of blue/black look on the front clam
