Grill Replacement, anyone knows how?
I always back the car in and this time didn't do it far enough and closed the garage door right onto the front. After the heart attack passed, I went to inspect the damage and small chunks are missing out of the grill. I already found an identical replacement and was wondering if these grills can be popped out, like the kidney grills on the F10s? Or if a lot more has to come out to get to the grill?

Should be similar to this link for the pre-LCI.
Lucky the garage door only took a chunk out of the grille and not the bumper/lights/hood. https://youtu.be/7vQDElw-cz4

Its different on the newer models. You don't just pull them off like in the 18 and 19. It not difficult. Good video here.

I know, trust me the shame, anger and thousand different emotions rolled through me. I have no surround cameras, but obviously use mirrors and back up camera, I always try to get that "perfect" distance from the back wall, not too close not too far. I misjudged it by an inch, it was a metal piece on a garage door hinge that got "hung up" right on the grill, stopping the entire door as I watched in cold horror. Thanks to others as well, I appreciate the info. |

Oh well, you can fix it at least, not too expensive, and an excuse to get Carbon Fiber one. Mike
