So few days ago I was driving to the airport and early in the morning I hit a rabbit at about 100km/h.
Rabbit just jumped before collision and smashed my front upper grill , register plate and small piece of inner active grill.
My first question is how to remove front grill ?
I did my research but didnt find anything very helpful.
Is It possible to do It without removing whole front bumper?
Do I need to pull from the car or inside?
Broken one will be much more easier to remove I hope so.
Inner trim of active grill is slightly damaged and I will probably leave It like that for now.
If anybody knows part number for active grill also would be very helpful.
Car is Ford Focus St Line 2.0d 150hp

Looks nice, thanks for posting the results!

MAybe stupid question but where does the license plate go? I thought the front grill has that plastic rectangle piece where you would insert the screws, but there is no such piece on this new front grill! Looks very clean though 😄
It looks way better without front license plate 🙈.
If you zoom in on picture you will see at the bottom two small circles where screws come for license plate holder.
As looking to the picture It is definitely calling for some front lip in future.
