DTE PEDAL BOX V3 Program Selection..



Choose four standard programs. These affect the overall driving experience. Do not change program's whilst accelerating.

SPORT mode.
SPORT Plus.
ECO mode.
OFF mode.

"SPORT"

In the SPORT mode, throttle response is improved slightly. SPORT increases throttle response by up to 16 per cent, making it suitable
for most situations.



"SPORT Plus"

For sporty drivers, we recommend the SPORT-Plus-Mode. SPORT-Plus incorporates optimal fuel consumption across the entire rpm range and is perfect for merging quickly with road traffic or when overtaking is required.



"ECO MODE"

The CITY mode is suitable for the stop and go of city traffic. It guarantees improved torque in the lower rpm range while the response is programmed to achieve economical fuel consumption.



"OFF"

We recommend the OFF mode for driving on very slippery road surfaces brought about by ice, snow or heavy rain.

This How To Covers How to fit a front Grill to the Astra J

I Have already done this in the past i dont have this bumper anymore  
but i will cover the basics here.

i will be fitting the Grill with no Badge to the Astra j 5 Door Preface Lift.
Here is the original front Grill with the Griffin badge.



Pleas note this Picture above is of a VXline Bumper and the Debadge Grill will not fit the VXline Bumper
The Picture is for reference only.

This will also not fit the Face lift Bumper ether.

This is the Front Grill it is a very Good Quality item and just like the Original Genuine front Grill
They can be found on ebay etc and go for around £55
and come in chrome or Matt black.



The first Step is to Remove the front Bumper from the car
A How to can be found Here.

http://www.vxoc.org.uk/forum/Thread-How-...r-Facelift





Take the bumper in Doors as you will need to work on it without scratching it
and Preferably work on it on the carpet as you will need to lay it on its front.  





Turn the Bumper Around you will be Working from the Back to Remove the Grill
It is Not Easy to Remove the Clips and you may have to Sacrifice the Original Grill
to Save the Clips on the Bumper as they must not Brake or the New Grill will not fit back Correct.

Look at the Pictures Below and look for 6 clips at the Top and 8 Clips at the Bottom of the Grill
you will see the bumper clips they will be the same color as you bumper in my case they are silver
These clips need to be looked after at all cost  





to Remove the Grill safely look at the tabs and at the back you will see a little black notch
on each Clip on the Grill this Notch needs to be Cut so the Tabs will Push back and the grill will pull off
start with the Bottom 6 then the Two at the Side and then the Top 6
Then you can push the very top of the grill off the bumper





were the red arrows are the black plastic grill needs to be pushed down away from the bumper part
and the grill will then be removed.



You can see the Bumper Clips in the above Picture that need to be intact to Refit the Grill
To refit the Grill Refit in Reverse order Starting at the Top and Slide the Guilds into Position



Then Line up the Grill Clips and Push Down one by one Starting at the Bottom and then the Top
again be Real Careful and make sure they are Lined up Correctly
as they are a Pig to get Back out.

If you have Managed that you Now have a Debaged Front Grill Well Done.





Look this is not that easy a job to Remove the Grill
i must Stress Again it is Best to Ruin the old Grill than Brake the Bumper Clips
they must Remain unbroken just take your Time and you wont have any Problems.
