About part number 31449342

A front lower bumper grille sits in the bottom opening of the front bumper assembly. It forms part of the exterior bodywork while allowing cooling airflow to pass through to the radiator and engine bay. When it is intact and correctly fitted, it protects internal components from road debris and gives the front of the vehicle a complete, clean appearance.

To confirm that this part is correct for your vehicle, you must check that your original part number matches 31449342. Manufacturer part numbers are typically stamped or moulded directly into the plastic on the reverse side of the grille. Matching this exact number is the only way to guarantee a correct fit, as visual similarity alone is not enough.

These grilles are usually replaced after minor front-end impacts, stone damage, or if the mounting clips have snapped. When fitting a replacement lower grille, you may also need new plastic retaining clips or fixings, as the original fasteners often break or wear out during removal.

About this kind of part: grilles

A grille is the moulded panel across the front of a car that lets air through to the radiator and carries the maker's badge. On a modern car it is rarely one piece: there is usually an upper grille set into the bonnet line, a lower grille in the bumper cover, and separate side inserts. Many now also hold the forward radar, a camera or the active shutters that close off the airflow, so the same model can take several different grilles depending on what was specified when new.

Why people replace one

  • A stone or a light knock has broken one of the slats, which cannot be glued back without showing.
  • The chrome or bright finish on the surround has lifted and started to flake, which spreads once the plating is broken.
  • The clips along the back have snapped, so the grille stands away from the bumper cover at one corner.
  • A badge mount has broken and the badge no longer sits flat.
  • The gloss black finish has gone dull and grey from washing and road grit.

Fitting it

  • A grille is usually held by clips around its edge and a few screws reached from behind, which often means taking the bumper cover off to reach them.
  • The badge, any surround trim and the radar or camera bracket normally transfer from the old grille.
  • Work the clips from behind rather than pulling on the slats, which break easily when cold.
  • If the grille carries a radar or a camera, that unit will usually need aiming or calibrating after it is disturbed.

Making sure it is the right one

  • Match the part number moulded on the back. A grille from a different trim level will clip in and sit correctly while being the wrong pattern or the wrong finish.
  • Check whether the grille has an opening or a mount for a radar or a camera. One without the mount cannot carry the unit, and one with it looks wrong on a car that has none.
  • Compare the finish as well as the shape: the same grille is made in gloss black, in a bright finish and in body colour, and these are separate part numbers.
  • Count the fixing points and compare their positions with your own grille before buying.

What to look for in the photographs

A Part number — Moulded into the back of the frame, often near an edge. This is the number to match.
B Radar or camera mount — An opening, a bracket or a blanking panel behind the badge. Compare it with your own grille, because this is what varies most between trim levels.
C Clips and mounting tabs — The row of clips and tabs around the back edge. Count them and look for any that are broken.
D Badge mount — The seat the maker's badge fits into. The badge is a separate part.
E Slats and mesh — Look along the slats rather than at them, which shows a cracked or missing one that a flat photograph hides.
F Surround finish — The outer frame: bright, gloss black or body colour. The finish is part of what you are matching.
