I would like to replace the head lights of my volkswagen chico 1.3L 2001 model, but I don't know how to remove the plastic grill in front of it.

I found a great thread about this:

Remove plastic cover over radiator and remove head lights, remove the screws on top and out she comes

TO REMOVE GRILLE FROM BEHIND THE BUMPER COVER RELEASE PLASTIC CLIPS AND DETACH THE GRILLE. IF YOU HAVE FOG LIGHTS DISCONNECT THE ELECTRICAL CONNECTORS FROM THE FOG LIGHTS AND REMOVE THE FOG LAMP MOUNTING SCREWS BEFORE DETACHING THE GRILLE.WHEN YOU INSTALL GRILLE PLACE GRILLE IN POSITION AND SEAT THE CLIPS INTO HOLES IN THE BUMPER COVER. IF YOU HAVE FOG LAMPS INSTALL GRILLE IN POSITION THE INSTALL FOG LAMPS MOUNTING SCREWS BACK IN PLACE TO HOLD GRILLE IN POSITION.

under the passenger head light.....you have to remove the grill and remove the passenger side of the front nose cover....pain in the ****.....simple way...remove passenger headlight and cut a 3 inch circle out of the plastic....center of where the bottom of the headlight sits.....and the relay is mounted to the inner fender ....a dremel tool works perfect.....

Its all attached by clips and screws.Nothing much special.But its all about the procedure.Dont forget the mark the position , location of the screws you remove, so while refitting you don't face any problemTo replace fog light bulb or to replace replace complete fog light unit, click this link below:--- http://technoanswers.blogspot.com/2011/07/how-to-replace-left-front-fog-light.html ---------- This will help.Thanks.Helpmech.

YOU CAN ACCES THE HOOD LOCK FROM THE FRONT BY REMOVEING THE PLASTIC GRILL , THEN YOU SEE THE OPENING WIRE AND CAN OPEN THE HOOD

RAISE FRONT END OF VECHICLE.FROM BEHIND THE GRILLE AREA.GRASP THE BACK OF THE FOG LIGHT HOUSING AND TWIST IT COUNTER CLOCKWISE.PULL THE BLACK PLASTIC HOUSING AWAY FROM THE FOG LIGHT UNTIL YOU HAVE ACCESS TO THE METAL CLIP SECURRING THE BULBHOLDER.THEN REMOVE BULB INSTALL THE NEW BULB.PUT EVERYTHING BACK VISA VERSA.

The front grill and bumper has to be removed to reveal the 2 lower screws holding each lamp assembly. Removal of the hood latch is simple, just don't over do when you spread the plastic link cause it would break sometime. Do not loose the pivot pin and the locking clip of the plastic link to the latch handle. The front grill needs to be poke with a flathead screw driver on top to release it. Hopes this helps cause it really is just simple common sense to figure out.

Your best bet is to call & speak directly to a VW parts dept & ask them. U can order whatever parts u need online & probably save $ but call & find out what parts u really need. If its needs a certain paint color only the dealer will be able to order the original parts or u may have to have it painted to your want. Good Luck

Plastic rivets in the wheel wells, clips under the headlights, remove the grill, plastic clips under the front,
too much to write.
