Changing the Front Grills - Is it a DIY task

Hi All,

Am new to the forum and have not yet had the chance to update my details and add profile pics, etc however my first of a long list of questions;

I'm planning on swapping the standard silver colour front kidney grills on my E70 4.8 with a pair of new OEM Black ones.

Is this an easy DIY type job or does it need a trip to the dealer or an independent to do it for me?
..If it's anything more than a hand tool job I wont have the kit to do it.

Many thanks,
Hamlay - Doha, Qatar

Should be done in 10 minutes. Straight forward job. Do not think you need any tools at all... Good luck!

thanks Lars.

Just tried a search or 3 and found you can do it with a screwdriver. Damn newbies asking questions before reading the last 500 posts
