Anybody know how to change the E70 Kidney?
 
I recieved the titanium kidney (grills) for my E70 but am having trouble switching it out. Is the outside part connected to the inside part that goes into the hood by just 2 clips? it seems like there are clips all the way around but I can't get them out. Anybody switch them out themselves before? Thanks!

Wow I was approaching that waay wrong. Pretttty easy to swap! HUGE difference in looks in my opinion. Thanks man :thumbup: (anybody who searches and finds this - from the inside of the hood, just push 1 clip on each side of the grill in. Then pull it all out as one piece from the outside. Replacement is just the opposite. Takes less than 5 minutes)

No pictures for now :-( The digital camera has gone on vacation. Here is a picture of the plate though that I switched out with the old "Bob Smith" paper plate. http://img174.imageshack.us/img174/9749/bmwbackph9.jpg

How much did you pay for your titanium kidney grills?
As i have asked several dealers, they have all different prices.
