When you are unhooking the clips are you doing something special? I reach in there but i'm afarid i'm going to break the clip if I pull up on it too hard??

2. Removed Grills without even opening the hood of the car. Required reaching through the grill to unhook the lower clips, and using a hook shaped tool to assist in unhooking the top clips. Way easier than I expected.
3. Separate the outer ring of the grill from the inner slats by unhooking the clips.
4. Wipe down the outer silver ring with denatured alcohol.
5. Spray on 3 coats
6. Reassemble in the morning and install.
Voila ...
Looks just like stock black kidney grills for the 335is but costs $5 instead of ~$130.
Thanks for the DIY, it helped a lot. |
