[QUOTE="eric_s, post: 577756, member: 24070"] did not have confident wrapping the diffuser as yet, worried about the sheer size of the thing. As I always wanted to get those performance grills (matt black), so decided to try my hands on wrapping the grill. tools required: pen-knife sissors hair dryer torx screwdriver (allen keys from IKEA will do) removing the kidneys were a breeze... just need to unscrew the 4 torx screw on top of the grill, reach in and unfasten the grill by unlocking the 5 clips. [ATTACH=CONFIG]22387[/ATTACH] then followed by removing the fins, by unlocking the clips around the grill [ATTACH=CONFIG]22388[/ATTACH] once removed, the wrapping process starts. it was not that difficult, but its not a breeze either.. there are alot of pressure applied on the wraps, hot airs for ease of stretch, and bubble ironing... once done, clip everything back into place at the end of it all, the result is very satisfying.... [ATTACH=CONFIG]22389[/ATTACH] took me around 30 minutes on each side. personal satisfaction in completing the task and most important of all spending a small fraction of the actual cost of the performance grill. If I get bored of it, I can just peel off the wrap.. will do the diffuser next! [/QUOTE]
