ooops i just did the mod using a drill + spade bit and regular bits to grind off the leftovers, then stanley knifed the rest. stanley knifing it alone is far too slow in the cramped space. the plastic is actually pretty stiff too..
my stupid mistake was in leaving the grill attached to the car, now i have plastic shavings everywhere and in the aircon radiator too
what's the process to remove the grille? (BJ series protege 1.8L)
