Front Grille Installation Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 3 E46 - Years 1998-2006
Part: Grille

The front grille is secured to the hood using plastic tabs: it often happens that these tabs break, and you need to find a solution to keep the grille in place. Instead of thinking about securing it with zip ties or silicone, you can use a two-part putty that, once mixed, has a rubbery consistency allowing you to position and secure the grille. Start by cleaning the area to be bonded, position the grille, and apply the putty which, once dried, will become hard ensuring an effective and lasting attachment.
