Removing Front Fascia (Nose Section)
The first step in the installation will involve removal of the front fascia
(front nose section) of the vehicle (see Fig. 2.1). The front fascia of
the C30 is comprised of two pieces, an upper section and a lower
section, as shown in Figure 2.1. These two sections remaining joined
during the installation process and will not be separated. Attached to
the front fascia are the upper grill assembly, the front license plate
and mounting bracket, the driving light assemblies and driving light
grills (if so equipped). All of these pieces remain attached to the front
fascia when it is removed and only require that you disconnect one
wiring connector for each driving light assembly, one per side.
In addition to the front fascia there is a plastic splash guard posi-
tioned underneath the engine. This piece must be removed for instal-
lation.
To reduce the chance of damaging the vehicle paint on the front
fascia and the surrounding bodywork, we recommend you have
someone available to help when removing the front fascia.
2.1 Remove Headlight Washer Covers (If so equipped)
If your vehicle is equipped with headlight washers there will be two
headlight washer covers, one per side, that will need to be removed.
This is actually the trickiest part of the entire installation process
though it only requires patience and some time to get the covers
off. It may be helpful to have someone to hold the covers in their ex-
tended position to allow you to see the clip mechanism that secures
the covers.
• Carefully pull headlight washer covers away from the bodywork.
These covers are attached directly to the headlight washer mecha-
nism, be careful not to twist or damage washer mechanism.
• Insert a small screwdriver into the clip on the underside of the
cover to release clip.
• Remove cover.
• Repeat for opposite washer assembly.
2.2 Splash Guard
• Locate and remove the seven (7) T30 Torx fasteners securing the
splash guard.
• Remove splash guard.
2.3 Remove Front Fascia Fasteners
• The front fascia is secured by fasteners, plastic rivets and clips in
the following locations:
Passenger Fender Well Fasteners (x5)
Driver Fender Well Fasteners (x5)
Upper Radiator Bulkhead (across top) Fasteners (x2),
Plastic Rivets (x5)
Lower Radiator Support (across bottom) Tabs (x3)
• Remove the five (5) fasteners securing the front fascia in each fender well (see Fig. 2.3).
• Separate front of plastic fender lips from front fascia. Repeat for both sides.
• Using the T20 Torx bit remove the two (2) fasteners from the upper radiator bulkhead (see Fig. 2.4).
