BWM Performance Grilles

twin fed · 08-27-2008, 07:53 AM

Does anybody know the best way of removing the original kidney grilles? I just got my black outs and don't want to scratch anything up. Thanks for any advice!:thumbup:

^ Welcome to the forum. Your local dealer might give you a discount for a time after purchase, I bought from my dealer and saved potential shipping costs which a vendor must charge. After the 6 month grace period, which, my dealer provides, I'll be relying on the very excellent vendors who support this forum - http://www.1addicts.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=59

Should you plan on doing the CDV-delete, I'd do a vendor rather than dealer purchase. You wouldn't want your dealer/warranty-provider to know you side-stepped the BMW Clutch Delay Valve. Oh no, that would never do. I purchased from a forum vendor for the CDV-delete piece.:wink: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=6329
