Gloss black grill DIY?
I searched but didn't see any DIYs posted. Has anyone installed the black gloss grills themselves? How easy was it to do?

Very easy to do.
Open up the hood. You will see slots to undo the locking tabs from the top of the kidney grill. Use flat screw driver, press them in one by one while pulling the kidney grill out. You don't need a lot of pressure or a pulling hard on the grill. It comes off very easy. Good luck.

instructions for removal are as above. You will see that the opening/closing flaps are not part of the cosmetic grille that is removed; the flaps are on the car and undisturbed by grille removal. |

Finally got my grille...will try to tackle this tomorrow. Hopefully it's as easy as what everyone is saying. Wasn't all that straightforward on my F80 M3 even with an actual guide. And I don't even have a guide for this one. lol

is there a way to manually open/close the shutter grills?
since installing the double slated version i would like to test if it gets stuck or not... or do i have to patiently wait till the engine heats up for it to automatically opens and then wait for it to cool down for it to shut. |
