Issues refitting bumper grill/foglight surrounds

Post by CDT »

Hi all hope you can help. My partners 2012 polo lower grill was damaged, so we have purchased a new one but I can't for the life of me get it back on. It just doesn't seem to want to click back in. Is there an order to refit them eg middle grill then fogs? Or is there a nack to getting it on?

Thanks in advance for any help

It's not a VW one to be fair but figured it should still fit. Hopefully not wrong on my part?

Hard to say. I've seen plenty of non-original grills fit poorly. And some fit perfectly fine.

maybe the topside clips are bending in down direction. its a bit easier with no licence place. I line up the top making sure the clps go into their place, than side clips and bottom. then put the side fog covers.
