Remove Swift Grill?

humm · 29th January 2009, 23:19

Hello,

How do I remove my front black grill in the swift. The grill on which the S (Suzuki) logo appears.

The grill seems to be looking white now because of water & dirt collection. How can remove the grill to clean it?

Any ideas anyone?

You will have to remove the bumper to do that. Once you remove the bumper, its easy to remove the grill, its just screwed to the bumper.

Do you mean I need to remove the full front bumper?

have you tried this before?

and removing the bumper will be kind of tough coz of hidden screws and locks. just be a bit careful taking it off.

Its not actually tough. I have marked the positions of all the screws, clips and bolts which hold the bumper to the body.
The screws are marked by yellow, clips by green and bolts by red.
once you remove all of them, un hook the bumper from the top and just pull it gently, and it will come off
