When you remove the bumper, you will see exactly where the duct will be. The opening will be EXACTLY behind the lower part of the front grille, in which case you have to remove the small plastic piece that sits there

So the plastic grille is completely solid on your car?

What year is your car, did you buy it used? Is there an aftermarket front already on the car?

Looks like you'll just have get an aftermarket bumper. At least that's enough justification for me..

Hi guys,
my bumper is absolutely stock.I have controlled today,in the lower side my grille is sluice,except in the sides,where there are two holes.I enclose a photo of my grille.

See how the bottom of the honeycomb area curves upwards?

On the US-spec bumper, that area is open, so the air duct gets air blown in directly.

If your absolutely sure it is solid like the silver photo the drill some holes in the black plastic between the diamonds. If you want you can just finnish it off with a dremel tool to make a perfect diamond pattern.

I just found this is only a USA part is not meant to be marketed on Europe.

However your distributor should have let you know what to do.

Also, there is a bracket differance.

Just minor little fixes will yield great results from the duct.

And I tell you again -and for all of you to know- that the plastic behind the front grille is NOT one piece. It's actually two pieces: the top half which is hard plastic for the licence plate to bolt on, and the lower half which is elastic plastic, which can/must be removed (it takes about 30 seconds).

I know from experience
