Video tutorial

In this video, we can see how to replace the front grille of the BMW 1 Series F40 version: we open the front hood and remove the rubber lining on the front, then the screws from the top of the bumper. The youtuber also removed the screws in the wheel arch, on the driver's side, in order to separate the bumper from the grille, enough to insert a plastic lever between the bodywork and the grille, in order to start removing it. We do the same with the grille on the other side and replace it with the new black one. There are many available online, for example the code 255422366693 on E-Bay which costs 159.00 euros, with free delivery.

The youtuber also changed the mirror caps, putting them in black: we can always find them on E-Bay with the code 403991653726 at 97.99 euros, also with free delivery.
