    Hi.

    Over the last 16 years my bonnet grill have become a bit worn/faded and "poping" up a bit too between the screws.
    The early 348 have only 3 screws in the grill (94 and Spider have 5)
    I've seen new bonnet grills on the bay (new) for a cheap buck, so I was thinking of replaceing it.

    BUT.....
    If you look at the pic, screw A and B are no problem to unscrew - but how in G**'s name do you reach screw C????????????????

    Under the bonnet theres a panel which are popped on to the bonnet, so I cant get access to screw C from there...

    Any ideas??? if anybody else have done this....
    Thanx...:)

    PS: This pic are from last winter, we've got summer here now :D:D:D
    but I couldnt botherd to go out in the garage, remove the car cover to take the pics.:D

    Drill out the pop rivets (they are black). The shield under it can than be removed. Reinstall pop rivets & paint the heads black.
    The part you need is cheap - under $50 US if I remember right. Just did mine
    Good Luck, its not a big deal to drill them out.
