Anybody know how to change the E70 Kidney?

[dencoop]

This may help some of you find the part simpler or if you call around you can just provide the part numbers....

Here's the part #'s for the kidney grills
51-13-7-185-223(left),
51-13-7-185-224(right).


Cost is $88.50 each for the kidney grill.

The above info is From jonathan...He works at the SC PC Delivery. That is where I will be picking up my 3.0si and wanted to change the grill so asked him for the info...

Good Luck to everyone

I don't have pictures but if you read the entire thread, you'll be able to do it. I'm VERY challenged at changed at doing these things and was very surprised at how easy it was. Just open the hood, push them through the hood (out the front) and replace the same way. Good luck.

I will try to order the kidneys from the dealer here in Hong Kong. Question: Did you paint the grills beneath the kidneys? I thought that they only come in the light color with the sports package. I'd like to get mine to the same color as yours because mine's currently black. Thanks for the advice.

You can order the titanium mesh grilles through the dealer as well..

Thanks a lot, Colin. Will call my dealer tomorrow. By the way, I think James Boags is the best beer around, even better than Tsing Tao!
