ZT Lower grille

Mogodon · 2nd May 2015, 08:00

Got a facelift ZT and want to fit my IAM grille badge. Is there an easy way to get behind the lower grille as I can't see how you do.

Thank you I did wonder but was hoping for an easier way.

If you have long arms and help you may be able to fix it on through the corner inspection flaps,maybe long shot.

remove one of the brake ducts..... you should be able to get your arm in, but I'd remove the bumper

One tip that I used on Redfive is that the nuts bottomed out on the studs before they got tight on the mesh so I bought a cheap plastic 6mm chopping board and simply cut a section out in the same profile of the badge so you not only have a spacer but plastic insulator between the two metals that may help prevent future corrosion..
