To replace the front grilles on a BMW 1 Series, open the bonnet to access the front of the engine bay: you will find four screws that hold the two front grilles in place. Once these four screws are loosened, you can remove the old grilles from their housings and replace them with new spare parts.

After the replacement, secure the grilles with the appropriate screws in the front of the engine bay and close the bonnet.
