I've been on TH-cam for many years. Mainly watch car builds etc. This has to be the best explanation of a diy ive seen. So thorough and to the point. Subbed.
Just removed and refitted today, thanks for the walkthrough. To answer Taylor Page question (from a year ago, sorry so late). To remove the upper grille for Irmscher (or, in my case, a Blitz to replace the Griffin that was on my Opel) there's no subtle way. The are LOTs of plastic tabs and they are gunked, glued and melted into place. Just get a small claw hammer and lever the black grille away, section by section. Some tabs will stay on the bumper; most will snap off, still stuck to the grille. I used Gorilla Glue Gel for my Blitz grille (which came from a breaker and most of the snapped tabs were stuck in that).
Thank you - All I needed to do was replace a globe on a South African "Gamma" Series (somewhere between your C and D). Yes, this model you have to remove the bumper and headlight to change globes *facepalm*. Your video showed me where all those "hard to find if you don't know where they are" bolts. Thanks.
Very helpful video, thank you. I had one of those little black panels knocked out by hitting a bird and, because most of the straps have broken which hold it in place, my best option is to get the bumper off. One additional piece to add I think is to just jack the car up if you can't get at those bolts above the wheel.
Bonnet release cable has snapped on my combo, do I have to cut out the grill to access manually or is there another way you know of? Any advice would be appreciated
I'm looking for info on replacing the arch trim on a 2011 combovan. It the trim with the sill attached, I can see a black bolt on the bottom of the sill, is that a torque screw?
Where did you get that box of hardware from, I know you can buy individual sets of hardware but am looking for a set of different bolts n stuff that all fit the car in case I break any taking off anything, any advice or links appreciated
Hi just got a 57 combo today. Would a tigra grill fit straight onto a combo or is it a complete front end bonnet and wings?... also what vauxhall parts will fit straight onto the combo I.e seats steering wheels etc. Cheers

Once you take the bumper off do your headlights slide out or you got to take out bolts? I need change some headlight bulbs but having no joy from the tiny gap at the back of the lights.... grrr

+KlevaOyibo You’ve got to love car manufacturer logic. I’m glad my video helped you out though. Thanks for your support!

One additional piece to add I think is to just jack the car up if you can't get at those bolts above the wheel.
+Richard Archer yes that’s a good solution, but if your jacking the van up then may as well take the wheels off too, for ultimate access.
Love your videos, keep it up!!
+KyranNoallMedia Thanks for the support. I’m glad my videos have helped you out!
Bonnet release cable has snapped on my combo, do I have to cut out the grill to access manually or is there another way you know of? Any advice would be appreciated
Thank you for doing this video, it is exactly what I needed to see, so that I can replace my damaged bumper, nice one.
+darren sharman glad to help 👍
Very helpful video, helped me replace my friends front bumper earlier on today! Nice one
Cool, I’m glad it helped.

+Daniel Nicoll I just bought the hardware all separately from eBay and Amazon, then got a cheap box from the pound shop to store them all in.
Excellent, very helpful video!
Thanks for the support!

There’s a lot but they are all similar.

+Anders Mcfarlane the headlights have their own bolts. Yea you need double jointed pixie fingers to replace bulbs from the engine bay.
Rust Locker cheers. Mate....iv got my Saturday morning sorted to change a bulb.....I’ll do them all come to think of it now....nice 1
Thanks!
Wow, Thank you!
Good
How to remove the top grill
I don't know, to be honest. I think it is pretty structural.
@@RustLocker you can imry grill for them
@@taylorpage2740 oh yeah, sorry then, I have not removed it myself so I can't give advice on it.
