Hi
At some point in the past the grills on my Z4 have been wrapped / the chrome blacked out. It’s now starting to peel off so I’m going to take the grills off over the weekend, take the wrap off and have a look at the state of the chrome (stone chips etc). I’ve seen a guide on this in the how to section - does anyone have any additional tips around this?
Out of interest can replacement grills be bought and does anyone have any links to sellers?
Thanks in advance

Hi, from memory you grip the vertical slats of the grill & lift up and then the lower half can be swung out away from the car. It’s something like that anyway
