  • The accessory grille for Jimny 3 replaces the factory grille.
    • It has the same shape, but it has chromed finish.
  • P.N.: 99000-990C5-006;
  • The accessory grille for Jimny 4 replaces the matt black standard grille (with vertical slats and stylised 'S' logo).
    • It is a gloss gunmetal grey grille with black honeycomb mesh and 'Suzuki' logo in white.

The replacement procedure generally consists of completely removing the stock front grille and installing the chromed front grille in its place, using the original clips and screws which had held the stock grille in place.

Replacement should be dead simple to do - just standing in front of the vehicle on a parking lot and using only bare hands and suitable screwdrivers.

Top fixings
  • From under the bonnet remove two plastic push rivets by prising out the centre pins using a small flat-head screwdriver.


Bottom fixings
  • At the bottom of the grille in the lower horizontal slot release two clips.
  • Once those are done there are a series of trim clips around the indicator area and along the top edge. Just pull firmly.
