Renault Megane III 2009-2016 Winter grille cover (2009-2013, lower)

Description

This is a winter cover for the lower grille (air intake under the license plate) of the front bumper Renault Megane III 2009–2013, made of black ABS plastic, size 123 × 15.5 cm, on hooks, with mounting hardware. It is not intended for the updated Megane III with a different bumper; there is no upper cover for this model.

Which Megane III front end fits

The cover blocks off the lower grille in the front bumper, is installed over the factory grille, and is removed when winter is over.

How to make sure the cover will fit your Megane

Go by the front end, not just the year in the documents. During production, Megane III received an updated front bumper, and around the 2013–2014 changeover both versions can be found. Before ordering, it’s worth doing three simple checks:

• Bumper shape. Compare your car’s lower air intake with the photo on this page. If the bumper is updated — with a wide air intake under the plate and daytime running lights in the corners — this cover is not designed for it.
• Trim version. On GT and GT Line versions, the front bumper may differ from the standard one, so for owners of these versions it is especially important to match the grille shape to the photo.
• Parking sensors. If the parking sensors are located near the license plate, check by the photo whether they will end up under the cover.

The dimensions of the cover itself also help for comparison: length 123 cm, width 15.5 cm.

“Choose shade” option: what it means

The cover has a matte black front surface. Fitment to the bumper and hook fastening are the same for all cars with the pre-facelift bumper of 2009–2013.

• Matte — black ABS plastic cover. The matte surface looks restrained on the bumper, and small scratches are less noticeable on it.
• Glossy — a version with a shiny surface. If it’s not in the selection list, only the matte shade is available.

Package contents and installation

The kit includes the cover itself and mounting hardware. Fastening type — hooks: the cover is placed against the factory lower grille, the fasteners are hooked behind its slats, and it is aligned to the center of the bumper. There is no need to disassemble the bumper for this. Do not overtighten the fasteners so as not to stress the plastic. Manufacturer — Digital Designs, color — black.

When to install and when to remove

The cover is installed for the cold season. In above-zero temperatures — during thaws and in spring — it is recommended to remove it so as not to disrupt normal engine cooling. While driving with the cover on, keep an eye on the factory temperature gauge, especially in prolonged slow traffic or in traffic jams. Rinse the removed cover and store it together with the fasteners until the next winter.
