MG MGF Technical - TF Side intakes - how are they removed?

Title says it all really! I'm thinking of replacing the black plastic grilles with woven SS mesh from Demon Tweaks (pt no ME5).

Anyone?

You could try side-swiping a barrier on the M55! I've heard doing it nose-on is a quick way to remove a front bumper ;-)
Seriously, I don't know. It's easy on the F as there are 2 self tapping screws top and bottom just inside the mesh. These can be undone and the whole unit comes out. Then it's just a matter of cutting away the mastic to remove the actual plastic grille.
Can't help any more than that - sorry!

I think the TF is a little more difficult. When I picked up my TF, I had a one silver and one black airvent. The garage exchanged the black one for a silver one and it took them over an hour to complete the task.

Paul,

firstly p1ss 0ff! lol
secondly there are no screws to be seen on the TF so I assumed they're clipped in but don't want to force them.The TF grill is also stuck with mastic I can see that bit.

Hi all
Ian before you belt me across the face, might i advice to to chat to Roger Parker on this subject.

It may take a while to get a reply but he is the top man to ask, and i am sure he will have the answer for you.
Cheers
