My Ride: Mystic Blue, 2004 525i

Has anyone ever replaced the plastic that is next to the fog light on their 525. I think the part itself is called a Lateral Grid, but I guess it's basically a plastic cosmetic piece that is black and goes into the lower bumper to the inside of each foglight

(there is also a "center grid" that obviously is in the center of the two lateral ones.)

Thanks

yea. your talking about the stock bumper.. those pieces are just snaped on.. you can just push them up and down while pulling them till it pops out..if its the first time you open it they may be stuck hard...
the one in the center has clips that lock on to the edges.. to pull that out the two on top should be uncliped, just put your fingers around them and unlock them the same for the sides, from what i remmeber there are no clips on the buttom of the middle piece just sides and top...this is probably the most fragile because of the clips this part doesnt need force so if it doesnt gently come out something is wrong...
good luck...
