IND | G05 X5 Front Grille Install Guide
Difficulty (1-5): 1 STEP 1: Begin the IND front grille installation by opening the hood. Pull twice on the level inside the cabin. STEP 2: Using an interior trim pry tool, depress the three (3) tabs at the top of each grille to loosen it from the front bumper. STEP 3: With the grille tabs successfully freed from the housing, slowly pull the grille away from the front bumper working from side to side. Step 4: If you have Park Assist then you will have a camera mounted in the center of the grille. Release the tabs and the housing will separate. STEP 5: Align the IND painted front grille set with the tab housings and press in using uniform pressure.

Do you have a pic of the car with the white middle you are installing with the hood closed? I have white and I’m debating between these two looks (all black like the one directly above versus the black with white middle).
All look great BTW. Last edited by misterburns; 01-22-2019 at 08:09 PM.. |

You will be receiving my order from the UK very soon - just want to confirm my suspicion that the silver on the Arctic doesn't look right. Looks epic!

You are only modifying the cosmetics of the car by painting the grill, you're not changing anything that's functional. |

You've probably seen this image on their website. The camera is a dark color so it blends in with the black grill. It stands out in a bad way if you go with the white painted middle. At least that's my view. I suppose with the hood closed perhaps it stands out less. Last edited by peter11; 02-20-2019 at 02:08 PM.. |
