How to Remove the Front Grille of the Mini Cooper

Model: Mini Mini R56, R55, R57 - Years 2007-2014
Part: Grille

Removing the grille from the Mini Cooper is a very simple operation that can be done independently. Start the disassembly by removing the central part, the so-called "ring". To do this, simply lever inside the piece; once the ring is removed, you can proceed to remove the front part by unscrewing the normal screws first and then the Torx screws. Continue by removing the clips and finally pull the piece from the vehicle. To install the new grille, the procedure is the same. If you feel it is safer to have this work done by a professional, the cost of the operation will be around £30.00.
