I recently upgraded my car with the JCW upgrade. I hate the way the dealer put the JCW emblem on the lower grille of the bumper, It's not sitting on the grille right, it's a little crooked, it's too close to the center of the car, and I want to move it a little closer to the corner of the grille.

Is there a way to remove the grille w/o removing the bumper to get to screws behind the emblem so I can move it over and lower a bit? If not that, is it possible to get behind there from under the car?

Any help would be appreciated...TIA!

 

Take it back and have them fix it. For what you paid you should have it done right. When you buy the Stage 1 kit there are instructions on where the badge should be placed (above the bumper). I found the installation instructions for the Aero kit and it does not specify the location of the badge http://motoringfile.com/howto/jcw_aero_kit.pdf. Come to think of it, Ièm surprised your Kit came with a badge.

 

The dealer is a good hour away from me. I don't want to drive all the way out there just to fix the emblem. No time for that!

 

You are definitely going to have to take the bumper off to get to it. It's pretty easy to take off and put back on. It's just a series of clips and screws.

You MIGHT be able to get to it from the underside, but the car is so low it may be little difficult.

Here is a link to the instructions...

I do not think you can - the back of grille is sealed off top and bottom, but removing the bumper is not very hard job.
