looks ok although small.

do you think it would be simple enough for someone like me to fit ?

although i guess if a peugeot mechanic can fit it then a monkey probably could as well.

derek

p.s. sorry, must stop insulting monkeys

The grilles can be fitted by anyone... You don't have to remove anything to do it..

All you need is a Posidrive/Phillips screw driver..

Good man Simon, been waiting for some info on the upper grille.
Â£34.83 +vat; but is this inclusive of monkey?

You mean inclusive of Peugeot "monkey" to fit?? If so then NO...

Why pay them Â£20+ to fit, when it will take YOU less than 10 mins to do it yourself?...

Just ordered one this afternoon from Olds Peugeot, Dorchester. Â£31.33 including vat as a part! or Â£60 fitted! I reckon they make their prices up as they go along.

As you say Â£20-30 is a lot, sorry I mean straight extortion, considering its four screws. However, on the down side the monkeys will go hungry tonight.

I suppose the upper mesh grille is not
original from Peugeot?

Tony · Post by **Tony** » Thu Jan 10, 2002 4:41 am

hmm, When I asked earlier about the mesh grille on the board I've been told that the lower mesh grille was a origin equipment but
her in Sweden Peugeot haven't a idea wat is was, so I ordered from Dennis Cooper instead
and if some one says the upper mesh grille is a origin equipment I think it's not avaible in Sweden...
however, It's intresting to hear what you say about it:)

cheers Tony

Both the upper and lower mesh grilles are available as dealer fit options. They don't come as standard on the car but the UK dealers can order them from Peugeot and fit them as an accessory.

Hope this clears it up.

they have never heard about it here in norway either Tony... I asked my dealer after it today, and no never heard about it... I asked my dealer to take a phone cal to the head office in Norway and they also said no, never heard about it.. so this time i cant blame the dealer...

No one in our dealership knew anything of the upper grilles when I asked them on Monday!

The Parts guy had to call The their Technical help line to get the Part number..

When he was faxed the release bulletin, it also showed upper & lower mesh for the 307 as well..

This is not the first time that I have asked for parts that were "rumoured" on the grapevine, only to find that Peugeot have been dragging their heels in sending out release notes..

The same has to be said about support of "new" models...
I have spent 6 weeks trying to track down the new muliplexed radio surround to tidy up my own "old" model..
Finally, I have the part number and it is on its way...
These car have been built since End of August in Ryton... 3 months on they are not listed as a spare!!

I checked the issue status of the Dealer parts "microfiches".. Guess what the latest one for the 206 is April 2000!!!!

Is there no Hope :sad:

Sounds about right, the guys I ordered from had not heard of the part until I gave them the reference number Simon quoted.

Saying that they got the grille within 24hrs, so some credit due there.

I had the same problem, they had a bulletin but no part viewable on the system. They tapped in to some system in Coventry - again, not viewable but when they went to order by part number it appeared !
The thing arrived the next morning and all at the bargain price of Â£26.26 +VAT ( Â£30.86 )
