Grill replacement no bumper removal.

I know, it's been covered, my question is simpler though, my stock grill on 2015 F56 is all cracked up. I would think then I should be able to simply crack the grate apart (it's lowsy anyways) all together and easily reach through and pop out the rest right? So if you are willing to sacrifice original grill as I am the bumper removal question becomes irrelevant I think ?And then simply snap new JCW I have in. Correct?

I had an f56 few years ago and can't find that account so here I am again with another one.

Thanks.

I dont have a specific answer but I will have an relatively new grill from my wifes 2019 F56 that was purchased on August 25th of this year. I am in the process of replacing the grill to a red JCW grill that the dealer is holding for me this weekend. I am in So Cal if you are looking for a replacement grill. PM me if interested.

Btw, here is a youtube video for grill removal. Seems rather easy!!

Thanks for the link, I think I will probably end up going with S stock replacement grill part #51137335528 to avoid having one random JCW badge on the car. It's only $117 and I am on other side of country from you.

I think you misunderstood me. I am putting the new red JCW grill ON the car. The old MCS in the pic above is coming off and will be selling it. Less that 2 months old!
