how-to: remove front bow-tie

**thebarber** · 04-06-2007, 04:40 PM

thought since i was removing the front chevy bow-tie from the aveo today id make a how-to...

before:

there are 5 screws you need to remove to get the grill assembly out (3 are metal and 2 are plastic):

passenger to drivers side:

once you have the grill assembly out, you need to remove 6 small screws on the back:

and 4 clips (i used a flat-head screw driver to get them out):

then the bow-tie just pops right out...

put the grill back into place and reinstall the 5 screws to hold the grill in, and youre done!

overexposed shot so you can sorta see the mesh....

I did the same steps only added in a mesh since my lady didn't like the idea of debading.
