Badgeless grille on Startline bumper???

[Tom.davenport]

Hi! My wife has kindly surprised me and bought me a badgeless grill for the van, only to find that the startline base kit doesn't separate! So gutted! Does anyone know of a way around this? I thought I may be ok as I've got an extra body kit on but nope! Any ideas would be appreciated

I’m afraid to say you’ll need to buy a Highline bumper if you want to utilise the badgeless grille.

Here’s one for sale:

Sold - T6 complete front end

I have the front end from my van available, it was all removed a couple years ago when i did LED headlight upgrade and then headlight washers (that require a new bumper) I have everything you see in the photos below, its been sat around for ages in my office/workshop and i havent cleaned it so...

Or you could sell the grille and gloss-black the chrome grille / badge?

I toyed with the idea of badgeless but think all black is a better look, personally.

Excuse the plate.

Yeah I was looking into buying a new front end but just turning into a bigger job than intented. Can you get black grill covers to cover the chrome then? @ the plate. That does look class and the affect I was after

So, what’s the difference between grills? I was looking at possibly Debadging mine but I’ll need to check 1st

The chrome strips and badge unclip so you should be able to remove and replace - Travelin Lite sell them.

Startline (and maybe Trendline? Not sure) grilles are permanently attached to the bumper, whereas the Highline / Caravelle / Cali aren’t.

Trendline isn’t permanently attached to bumper
