Audi TT mk3 bumper removal and grill install

Short video explaining how to remove the bumper on a TT mk3, and covering a wee bit of how to change the grill. Apologies for the terrible camerawork and editing.

Yep this was a winner thanks for showing me how and where all the clips were

[@grantbradley5084]

Looks 👍 sorry about the parking dent 😬

[@dKM1_]

Workshop is quoting me £80 to get it fitted. Worth it? (I've never done any body work on cars)

[@dKM1_]

Also how is this holding up? I am getting the oem grill shipped from Spain this week

[@jeebsy718]

No issues whatsoever, parking sensors worked perfectly in this one

[@d.l.9078]

hello , i have done the exact process that you have done and when i start the engine my airbag light in the dash came. what should i do?? thank s

[@jeebsy718]

Only thing I can think of is that the electrical connector behind the right hand grill which connects to the crash sensors might not be plugged in properly?

[@Noddyunplugged]

Great video, thank you!

[@d.l.9078]

i tried reset the airbag light with carrista app obd2 but not succesful

[@Montoya2005]

Did you need to buy the crash bar cover or was yours included in the grill?

[@jeebsy718]

I'm pretty sure the foam bit behind the grill covers the crash bar, depending on the grill you might need to trim it slightly (on the side which does not have the recess for the sensor wire)

[@Montoya2005]

@@jeebsy718 thanks for the quick reply. Been looking to change my TTS grill and this has helped me make the decision. 👍🏻

[@caneytt]

Can the smaller side grills be removed without taking off the bumper?

[@jeebsy718]

I believe so, they should pull out forwards

[@caneytt]

Ok great, want to pull them out so can clean all the black plastic behind them. Definitely no clips holding them in as far as you can remember?

[@jeebsy718]

@@caneytt there are clips but i thought they could be released from the front - looking back at pictures, I'd probably recommend taking the bumper off actually as the clips are different to what I remembered

[@andypeters7417]

William do you have video of cutting grill ?

[@whysoserious4570]

Is the oem rs honeycomb plug&play ???

[@jeebsy718]

It needed trimmed to fit but no issues with parking sensors

[@whysoserious4570]

Thanks for the answer

[@gerrycoyle1297]

Looks gr8. Do you have a link for this grill?

[@jeebsy718]

I got it from a place called VAG Customs but they were clearing out old stock, don't think they're trading any more unfortunately. Ultimate Customs do very similar ones though.

[@juelz4516]

Let me get this straight. You took off a honeycomb grille to put on…… another honeycomb grille. 😂

[@jeebsy718]

Yep, because the aftermarket style honeycomb grill that was originally fitted caused issues with the parking sensors...so the solution was a different honeycomb grill.

[@d.l.9078]

please help

[@auditt5450]

Where did you get that grill?

[@jeebsy718]

A place called vag custom but they have been closed for a few years now
