How do you remove E39 Kidney grilles?

Hi

I've looked at a few things on the net but I can't get it right. I'm still trying to do it now but if anybody knows from experience how to do it, it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

normally we reove in 2 parts carefully pry clips apart from inside the bonnet and remove in 2 halves .

be very carefull as the plastic is very brittle.

have replacements if needed

I did this yesterday to put in my new grills.

The slats and the chrome part are seperate parts and there are clips on the inside of the bonnet, just unhook each one with a flathead screwdriver.

There is two at the top of each grill, one on each side and two on the bottom.

Sorted! Thanks guys. I was prying the wrong clip, but yeah, got it now - Cheers for your help. How much would I be looking at for some new grilles. Not the chrome bevel.
