Just wanted to say that I used your very accurate description & photos yesterday to install the full-chrome grille on my BMW. Piece of cake with your tutorial ! Did the whole thing in under 10 minutes without breaking any of the plastic clamps. The original kidneys came out in excellent state and I will be putting them up for sale soon.
Great DIY !

I wish I checked for this before... I didn't think about taking to time to unscrew the top part... Took about an hour fidgeting cause I didn't want to rip it out and break all the tabs...
long story short, I got them out and only broke one tab! Though, wish I saw your DIY first lol, good to know if I ever wanna take them back out and paint match
