Any parking sensor connections or other components associated with the original grille or front bumper should be disconnected and reconnected carefully during installation.

The replacement grille should be checked for correct alignment and secure fitment before the front bumper is fully refitted.

Professional installation is recommended if you are not experienced with exterior body and trim components.
