E90 Grill DIY HELP!
So, I drove home from work & stopped at a hardware store to get everything ready to blackout my kidney grills.
I got the main bottom part off no problem, but two screws for the upper pieces are giving me hell! I removed two from each side with no problem, but the remaining two aren't coming off. They give no resistance when I screw clockwise or counter-clockwise but are definitely attached to the grill piece. Anyone else come across this problem or am I just retarded? : & yes I tried applying pressure in a numerous amount of ways.

ok, this happened to me. the problem is that the screws are stripped, you wont get them off unless you actually break the peice. but what you can do is unclip the chrome peice from the plastic peice that holds the screws (look at the one you took out) and then just paint the chrome peice, then let it dry for at least 24 hrs.

dbodner, if your going to put the screws back in and you want to secure them just add a few drops of Locktite on the screw and screw em back in. That should keep them in tact. My licence plate holder was stripped from the dealer.
