Mounting clip replacement for the BMW E46 kidney grill. Might work on Other BMW Grilles but have not tested.
The kidney grills are held in place in the bonnet through flexible lips, which become brittle with time and heat exposure.
Instructions:
1. Trim off all broken mounting lips down to 1mm above their base, leaving the 3 cavities under intact. The replacement clips have three prongs that fit inside these cavities. One of the sites require the thinner 2mm clip, all others take the 2.5mm clip. Do NOT glue them in place!
2. Only populate the top and bottom sites, don’t worry about the sides.
3. Position the top kidney grill in place at an angle with the top clips in place below the square bent metal lip from the bonnet.
4. Push slowly the kidney grill in place by making sure that the clips don’t fall off. Aid them in place with a fine screwdriver. You may have to flex the whole structure to push it in place.
5. Make sure that each metal lip sits on the flat edge of the wedge of their respective clip.
