How to remove the front grille of a Mini F56 without removing the bumper

Model: Mini Mini F56, F57, F54, F55 - Years 2014-2023
Part: Grille

In this video, we see how to remove the front grille of a Mini F56 without having to remove the bumper. Remove the heads of the five bolts located at the top of the hood, by removing them we can access the clips. Once the bolts are removed, we can move the hood (as seen in the video); then we open 8 large clips in the middle and one small clip at the end. All with our hands, or with a small screwdriver. Now the hood is completely removed and we have full access to the rest of the grille, where there will be eight more clips to open on the bumper side. The video, through an arrow, indicates one of the clips on the grille, which can be opened with a small screwdriver. Finally, we are at the stage where we need to remove the 14 clips from the grille, surrounding it: they can be removed by hand. To reinstall the grille, we will need to follow these same instructions in reverse.
