Advice on removing the front grill
Hi all
Had another great weekend working outdoors on my van 'The Pea'
Enclosed is a photo of the front of my German import 253
Next weekend I want to take the grill off & spray/clean it up. Can anyone give me some tips on removing the grill. I removed a couple of screws and pulled it out bit, I see the headlamps are all attached by screws with springs, do I need to undo these first before removing?
Also the heads on the screws holding the lamps & grill are all rusty and Id like to replace them, any idea where I can buy these, Screwfix? or would I need a specialist shop.
Many thanks

S'cuse me for asking Irishkeet....I could be wrong and I'm sure someone will very quickly correct me if I am but....
You said your van is a german import...............yes
So why have you got black tape on the left side of your lights and not the right like mine????
Mine are LHD light clusters that came over with the van and are taped on the right so I can drive legally over here.
Confused..................and just curious

If im wrong please let me know as the lights were masked when I bought the van so Ive never really thought about it
thanks

hi
no i removed a screw that was in the middle @ the top, my van is stored at a mates so ill need to go there to remove
Nearly took out the ones around the lights glad i left well enough alone now.
So when the grill comes out the lights will come with it? is there a spade connector that disconnects the wiring
So is this an unusual type of grill & headlight setup
many thanks for all the help
would you be able to send a photo of the while grill showing the screw placings
