what do i have to be ware when i remove the upper grill and bumper?

hey guys....instead of mini dealer..is there any other place that i can buy the nuts and washers for the upper grill...and some washer for the front bumper?

i m going to replace the grill with aero grill, but i m scare that i will break the nuts . since i heard that there are alot "one time" nuts ,and washer on MINI.

How much will it cost and where can i get them?

Is there any difficulites with putting back the upper,lower grills and bumper?

please,give a hint...thanks

I removed my upper grill to black out the chrome and re used the nuts and washers. I just took my time to get them off.

I replaced my grill and bumpers with S ones. One thing I found was, with removing the grill, use a small flat-head screw driver to gently pry upwards on the under side of the nuts as you turn them. You should be able to re-use them. I re-used them all.
