Not ideal but saves taking the door card off and a lot of time.

thankyou thankyou thankyou. Have just fitted speaker grills following your instructions and pics. These grills have been laying around the house for weeks and we were beginning to think we would have to brave taking door cards off. We soaked them in very hot water before bending the lugs to make them more pliable. Don't know if this made difference but they bent quite easily and non broke. Hardest part was removing old grills. Beware as these are incredibly sharp when they snap and I did cut myself. (lovely peace now husband has stopped ranting about stupid grills).

It all looks good but won't you then be irritatated by buzzing/rattling noises from

the speaker grills not being tightly secured. I have one speaker grill that does just that

and its the original one.

Just fitted three yesterday (odd isn't it that the driver door grille which gets most exposure does not get damaged....?) and a real easy job. I used a small spot of araldite on each of the lugs to secure the grills - no movement in them at all. Interestingly I noticed how much more brittle the old ones were compared to the new ones. Presumably the plastic degrades a little with time/light causing it to become brittle and then more likely to crack/break. Anyhow, BIG HSE note: MAKE SURE YOU WEAR GOGGLES WHEN REMOVING THE OLD GRILLES - when snapping of the old bits with pointy nose pliers lots of little pieces going pinging through the air. And although I did use pliers I still managed to draw blood as the broken pieces are very jagged.
