2015 f55 "Center Grille Bumper" Install?

Hey everyone. So i recently purchased a f55, and instead of being civil they drilled the center! So i am wanting to replace it (https://new.minimania.com/part/G3NMX...yABEgIbU_D_BwE)


i was wondering if anyone has replaced this or can help me locate a proper guide, since im probably using the wrong name/term to find it. Any help is appreciated!

As always, if i posted in the wrong area let me know or move it!

I used this guide to remove the front bumper, then its pretty easy to remove/replace with the bumper off. Side note, you can pull/bend a good deal before anything breaks.

You can also see the back side of the part in our pics and how it clips in.

Use this guide to remove the bumper and do it right.

Bumper removal is super easy on the f55/56. After you do it once you can have it off in maybe 10 minutes.
