How to Replace the Grilles on a BMW Series 2

Model: BMW Serie 1
Part: Grille

To give your car a sportier look, a simple and cost-effective modification is to replace the front grilles. Previously, the original grille was often replaced with a chrome one; currently, the trend is to replace them with all-black, matte or glossy grilles. These grilles are secured with clips: to remove them without damage, it is recommended to unscrew the screws and fixings of the grille so that you can move the bumper trim forward, allowing access to press the clips and remove the grilles. To install the new ones, simply align and press them until they click into place.
