Frequently asked questions
Will a pre-facelift grille fit a facelift version?
Usually no: during a facelift, the headlights, bumper, and grille mounts change. Check the years in the product name and, if in doubt, send the manager the VIN or a photo of the front end.
What should I do with the badge?
The badge is usually transferred from the original grille to the new one. Some grilles are made for an emblem, others are without it, and this is specified in the product name. If the emblem is shown in the photo, check whether it is listed in the “Package contents” field.
Do I need to drill anything during installation?
No, model-specific grilles fit into the factory mounting points using the original mounts. Only universal mesh inserts require cutting and fitting.
Are BMW kidneys sold as a pair or individually?
It varies: some sets include two kidneys, while some listings are for one piece. The quantity is specified in the product characteristics in the “Package contents” field.
Will the new grille interfere with the camera or cruise control radar?
Check the product photos to make sure the grille has space for your car’s camera or radar and that nothing blocks them. The equipment itself is not included — it is transferred from the original grille.
Are there grilles with backlighting?
Yes, for some BMW and Ford Ranger models there are LED versions. A grille with lighting and one without are different products, so choose the listing with LED in the name.
