First, unscrew the bolts securing the front grille, then release the upper clips connecting the grille to the vehicle body. The lower clips of the grille are quite tight; you will need a flat-head screwdriver to press the position marked by the red circle in the diagram to release the clips, and finally remove the front grille.
From my hands-on experience with DIY car modifications, I’ll share the method for removing the Baojun 730 grille. First, prepare the necessary tools: a pair of anti-slip gloves and a Phillips screwdriver or wrench. Ensure the engine is completely cooled before starting. Open the hood and locate the fixing screws or clips along the edges or inside of the grille. The Baojun 730 typically uses plastic clips—gently pry the center of each clip with the screwdriver, avoiding excessive force to prevent breakage. Through multiple removals, I’ve found that spraying a bit of WD-40 lubricant can help if clips are stubborn. Then, carefully pull out the entire grille, being mindful not to disturb surrounding radar sensors. The entire process takes about 10-15 minutes, after which you can clean or upgrade the grille, saving on repair costs while enjoying the DIY fun. Remember to check and tighten all screws during reinstallation to prevent loosening.
