Hi everyone and thanks for the add. šŸ‘

Recently acquired a 2002 Z3 2.2 Sport in Atlanta Blue from a lovely guy in Prestatyn, North Wales.

I’m looking to add some personal touches, the first of which is Chrome Side Gills / Grills to match the Chrome Windscreen Surround. šŸ˜

I’ve sourced a pair in lovely condition and hoping to get them fitted this weekend. From what I can see, they’re held on with a single grub screw and multiple ā€œdoor cardā€ fixings. I’ve removed the grub screws but what’s the next step; do I try to push the fixings through from the back to remove the grill or does it slide off in some way? šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø I have a pack of door card fixings on standby.

Apologies for the rather simple question but I’m new to BMW’s and don’t want to cock up / break anything. šŸ™

Squeeze the tabs from behind with needle nose pliers then push them through from behind.
