I wrote a grille wrap DIY with removal instructions. I just bumped the thread so you could see it. Your fingers will be sore, but don't break anything with force. Good luck.

@Ehloo , do a search in the F15 section. It has been discussed a lot and there are a few methods that has been sucessful to some.
I personally uses the old school method, which is undo the clip one by one with reaching in inside the bumper.
And I can do that in 20 minutes top.

Thanks for bumping your thread. I did read it earlier and was able to complete the install. I didn't realize there was another three bolts under the rubber weather strip. Getting the bumper loose was the key.

I bought the complete IND comestic package with gloss front grill, side vents, painted side markers, painted roundel and badge and rear badges

So far I installed the front grills and painted reflectors. Tried removing the roundel which I thought was suppose to be easy but broke my plastic trim removal piece. Not sure how to remove the roundel now without a non abrasive tool.

Anybody have ideas on this. I know the side grills will be a pain also. Was hoping to get every bring done in a day but looks like a multiple dat project
