I am not sure what you mean - the grills for a turbo are different because the bumper cover is different.

Are you trying to put a Turbo front bumper cover on?

The vehicle is a Turbo S with front grills in body color. I am replacing the body color grills with Tequipment aluminum finish grills.

I just wanted the procedure for removing/installing the grills.

Thanks

I think you will need to take the front bumper cover off to get good access to them.

Removing

1. Cut welded joint

1.1. Mill off welded joint on the inside of the air grill 1 using a suitable taper cutter 4.

Note: When re-installing existing and fitting new components, the welded joint between the reinforcement 3 and the front apron 2 can be omitted.

Thanks a million...these instructions are very well detailed!

Since it seems a little time consuming, I'm gonna wait till the weekend to do this. Will try to finish the interior trim today but trying to figure out how to remove the center console (the area around the gear lever). Any clues?

Thanks
